Book description: Queen Vernita continues her monthly visits with her friends at the Blue Ice Mountains. While visiting the mountains she learns about the local flora and fauna.

Book review: This book is written for ages 9-12, but it’s the younger set that needs to learn the months of the years and days of the week and they can learn it all from Queen Vernita. Lots of facts about the many creatures and plants that inhabit Queen Vernita’s world (and also ours). Will appeal to a broad-base of readers from age 6 and up, including ESL students.
