Discusses the plants, animals, and characteristics of the tundra biome.

Describes the tundra biome, including climate, geology, geography and biodiversity.

Offering a stark contrast to hot, sandy deserts and tropical rain forests, the tundra is buried in snow and ice most of the year. However, life finds a way to flourish. During the short summer, flowers bloom and animals roam the land even though temperatures rarely reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit! This title will teach young readers how plants and animals survive in severe cold.

The arctic tundra is frozen for most of the year. Only a few types of animals can survive there. But what does the tundra look like in summer? And how do plants grow in this dry biome? Read this book to find out!

What would happen if the frozen Arctic completely melted? Certain plants and animals rely on the dry and cold tundra environments. The tundra biome includes both the flat regions of the Arctic and the alpine heights of the mountains. This biome holds a source of food and a climate suitable for the plants and animals that live there. Learn about the geography and resources of the tundra biome as well as how animals and people have adapted to and impacted tundra environments. Explore this biome's future and what people can do to help keep it safe.
