Recess at 20 Below Paperback – October 1, 2005

This book is wonderful for children to enjoy as well as learn about Alaska. Give something that will continue to be enjoyed for years to come, or buy it for yourself, you will love it.

My favorite book to read to students in Cincinnati in the winter. People here think kids can't go out unless the temperature is above 32°. This story gives everyone a whole different perspective on what cold really is!

I read this book to future teachers every January. I ask them what their favorite playground equipment was as a child, then have them think what it would be like to go on that equipment if it were 20 degrees below zero.Excellent nonfiction that helps children from the south see what life is like in Alaska.

I used this product for showing my students different types of weather in the winter. They were amazed to see what some kids had to do to prepare for recess.

Love this book. It's written in such a way that captures the kids attention (and grownups too) and the colorful pictures add life to the book. I've lived in Alaska all of my life, (so I know first hand of the cold) but bought the book for a young friend who lives in a warm climate. After reading the book, I decided I'm going to buy one for myself as well!

Great book! Meant for elementary age kids, but cute read for us older “kids”, too.

Love this story and the pictures of real kiddo's! I will read this to my third grade class this year!!

I shared this book with my grandson's second grade class and left it for the students to read during recreational reading. They all wanted a closer look! The colorful photos and snappy text bring this recess experience to life for kids, parents, and grandparents. As a former teacher, I could relate to all the preparation required for sending children outside on a nippy day. It is obvious this author has authentic background as a teacher in Alaska.
