This is the sequel to The Very, Very Far North, both by Dan Bar-El. If you’re looking for a juvenile fiction book for read aloud or for your child (or you) that takes places in the North with animals, this is the perfect series.

Summary: Past the place where icebergs shiver, you will find the Very, Very Far North, where Duane and his friends are sure to make you feel right at home. You might like to share a delicious Snow Delight with warmhearted Duane. While you’re slurping away, if C.C. suddenly asks you where you’ve come from, it’s not because she’s nosy; she is simply gathering scientific data. If Handsome, the musk ox, pays a visit, a quick hair combing is highly recommended. Should you notice a quiet caribou grazing nearby, well, that’s just Boo’s way of saying hello.
And if a less-than-friendly visitor arrives to sneak, shove, and shake things up, Duane and the others might discover that life isn’t always as peaceful as mid-late-afternoon nap. Fortunately, they know that change is as much a part of life as picnics and Tuesdays and cozy stories shared among friends.
This book (and the original) are pretty short at 272 pages with fairly large type. This makes it perfect for children to read on their own. There are also a few illustrations throughout. It’s a cute book with talking animals. It’s listed as for gentle readers and the series is a good one for those who can’t handle scary stories.
