Goodreads

Magnus, an Arctic seal, wakes up one morning to a strange rumbling sound. He traverses the Artic landscape asking various animal friends along the way to help him figure out the source of the rumbling. Turns out, Magnus is hungry!

This picture book exposes kids to different animals found in the Arctic, but that’s about the only redeeming feature of it. The story is just uninspiring. The illustrations are colorful and fun. There is information at the back about the animals encountered in the story for kids who want to learn a bit more. Recommended for kids 3 and up.
