Alaska is the largest
state and has the fewest people. Alaska means “the great land”. It is the 49th state and the capital is Juneau. |
The eskimo lives in dome-shaped houses
made out of ice when he is fishing.
These houses are called igloos. |
|
The state flag is blue with gold
stars. It has the Big Dipper in the middle and the North Star in the corner. |
The eskimo likes to go in his
kayak. The kayak is made out of seal skin and is long and narrow. |
|
The eskimo wears boots made out of
animal skins.
These boots are called mukluks and are very warm. |
The state flower of Alaska is the
forget- me-not. The state tree is the sitka spruce. The northern lights are bright lights
that dance in the sky for a few minutes. |
|
A walrus is called a tooth walker. Its 3 foot tusks are really giant teeth. He uses his tusks to hunt for food and to fight
with. A walrus has 2” of skin and about 6” of blubber. |
Alaskan brown bears are very big. They live near the sea and on islands in
Alaska. They eat grass, roots, plants, and
salmon. They sleep in the winter. |
