Winner of the Claudia Lewis Award for Excellence in Poetry for Young Readers (Bank Street Children's Book Committee)

“Rooney’s eye-catching portraits—created using printmaking ink, gouache, crayon, and digital and traditional collage techniques—vary to match the tone of each poem, from lighthearted and humorous to majestic and haunting (see her shivery Greenland shark).” — Horn Book

“Respect and appreciation for the natural world shine brightly throughout this seamless mix of words and pictures...A pleaser for animal and nature lovers.” — Kirkus

A dream book to work on from start to finish (or from tusk to fins!). At the Poles is the eighth book in David Elliott's poetry series about the creatures who share our world.
