This was a great read that was informative and entertaining for any age. It was easy enough for a child to understand while giving scientific information. I loved the illustrations that kept the book pretty "light". This is a must-have for a child's library.

Thank you to Publisher Spotlight, What on Earth Books, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of Antarctica: The Melting Continent.

This gorgeously illustrated book is packed with facts about all aspects of Antarctica - its climate, varied inhabitants, life at the research stations, and lots of information on the types of research being done there. I would recommend it for grades 3-8.

This had a lot of information and will be a great addition to our shelves. It is definitely for people who already know they're interested in the area. Very thorough.

This is a non-fiction text about Antarctica and includes topics such as pollution/global warming, research on the continent now and in the past and animals who live in and around this continent. Broken into chapters, this book covers a lot of great content related to this largely unfamiliar and often ignored portion of our globe. With lots of great pictures and diagrams this book will captivate readers. I would recommend this book for children and teens in the 9-13 age range. I think that it would be a little on the challenging side for younger readers but the pictures will be accessible to them and will keep them interested if someone is reading to them. As a grade 3/4 teacher I could definitely see this book in my classroom library and would also recommend it to teachers in the grades above mine. Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

Wow wow wow, what a spectacularly informative and totally accessible book about our beautiful icy continent! My son (age 7) and I both really enjoyed this eARC, and absolutely will be getting our hands on a print copy asap! The information is easy to consume for all ages, and impactful. We learned about the eco-system, animals, scientists and the impact of global warming- without feeling like we were being fed too much fact, too quick. It’s an excellent book for an eager little scientist!

Antarctica is a beautifully illustrated and very educational source of pretty much everything you need to know about Antarctica. It was very interesting to learn about all of the scientific studies that are occurring there. This would be an excellent source for a student’s book report. I think it’s very important to stress to our younger generations the value of having a healthy earth and the reasons why it’s so important to our survival. I highly recommend this book, especially for kids who are interested in the environment and science.
