Rory: An Orca’s Quest for the Northern Lights is a cute story told in rhyme about four anthropomorphic northern animals who team up to travel to see the northern lights. The animals are adorable and the polar bears are beautifully illustrated. The rhymes and meters are surprisingly strong, making this a great book to read aloud to children. I’m not entirely sold on these four creatures coming together as friends. Actually, a polar bear can eat a fox, and an orca can try to grab both of them and drag them into the sea … but since the animals also wear clothes and accessories, I think we should stop it. a bit of uncertainty here. Strangely enough, this story about the north was written by two Australian sisters. I wonder why this isn’t a story about a whale’s journey to see the aurora australis. In any case, I believe that children will like this cute story. It has great rhymes, cute (if a little unrealistic) characters, and attractive pictures.

RORY: THE ORCA’S SEARCH FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS by Sarah Cullen and Carmen Ellis is a children’s rhyming book about Rory the orca on his quest for the Northern Lights. Said in the AABB rhyming scheme, RORY; ORKA’S SEARCH FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS focuses on Rory, a young orca, and the friends he meets on his way to find the Northern Lights. Rory meets Bella the beluga, Cleve the arctic fox, and Dozer the sleepy polar bear as they forge ahead in Rory’s search for the Northern Lights. The beautiful images are colorful, cute and attractive; fun to rhyme; the storyline is nice, but the text can be a bit more difficult for a very young child without adult supervision, e.g. fjord, glaciers, difficulties.

Playful search Rory the orca was told that there was no light in the sky, but he decided to see for himself. It is better to travel with two, three or four friends, and they will help each other before discovering the poles. There was a lot of hilarity in this book, but otherwise the rhymes were playful and clever. The story is simple and does not have a strong climax, but it is comfortable and friendly. I will definitely be sharing this with my fellow animal lovers and anyone who likes Lisa Frank.
