Description

* 2021 NSTA-CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book 

Fully-illustrated and with a fun and innovative flip-book format, the book provides the perfect way to explore and compare the extreme environments of the two Poles.

Take a trip to the ends of the earth and discover the extreme environments of the North and South Poles. Find out which animals live where, what the weather and climate is like and the effect global warming is having. 
 
Beginning with the North Pole, the book introduces the geography and climate of the Arctic. Readers will discover how climate change is affecting sea ice and why multi-year ice is so important to walruses and polar bears. Find out what ice floes are and what lives under the ice. The many uses of the Arctic are explained, from the home it provides to whale hunters to the rocket and missile test sites it houses. 

And then flip the book over and you arrive in the South Pole… The famous race to reach the pole in 1911 is retold and readers will discover why the orca is the ultimate polar predator. The huge tabular icebergs, sub-glacial lakes, and ice chimneys of the Antarctic are brought to life in all their impressive glory, not to mention the sea spiders, 'death star' starfish and other undersea giants!

North Pole / South Pole is a beautiful and informative book that teaches young readers about the animals, environments, and people of our Polar regions.
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for the Advance copy.

This is a fun & educational book. The formatting of the information took me back to books I liked as a kid. I also really enjoyed getting the chance to see sketches of pages that didn't have the finishing touches yet.

Chock full of illustrations and facts about the poles. This book is a great educational resource for older readers as it does highlight some of the more gruesome parts of the circle of life in these areas.

This is a very accessible book with some beautiful illustrations. It looks at the regions separately and covers the environments, wildlife, exploitation and current risks and some good news stories. I enjoyed the style and the layout, the information on each page having enough detail to give young readers a really good overview of the polar regions and their ecosystems. I look forward to seeing the completed book (some illustrations in this ARC were incomplete).

I got an advanced reader copy on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
This is a really nice little guide to the two Poles, which gives a little bit of information about anything relevant to them! A really nice guide for the younger children interested in learning more about them and the illustrations for each spread was pretty nice! Can't wait to see what the end result looks like!

North Pole/South Pole is exactly that. It is a great educational book about the North and South Pole. It shows things from animals and the ice to even what humans are doing there. There are great and beautiful illustrations as well. I highly recommend this book!

This book is perfect for perusing the pages or devouring the whole as a guilty pleasure! From it's cover to it's comprehensive content bubbles, readers can explore any and all parts of both poles. The flip format is fun as well! A great purchase or read for fun and/or specific research information!

This is a fascinating book! It is a terrific book about the North Pole, with 13 chapters that are full of information. The book is beautifully illustrated. Recommended for teachers and students, for those who want to learn more, as well as those new to the subject.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a children's nonfiction book. I am not sure what age group they are targeting. It is quite detailed. I do I d it informative and interesting. The graphics are good and colorful. Although some are unfinished. Overall a good education book about 2 misunderstood places. 3.5 stars

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from Michael Bright and Words & Pictures through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a very informative book about the North and South poles; the wildlife that inhabits these areas, the destruction humans and climate change are causing, and the people that have explored these areas.

I think kids will enjoy learning these interesting facts about the North and South poles.

North Pole/South Pole Flip Book by Michael Bright was a gorgeously illustrated and highly informative book about the animals and people that live in the Arctic and Antarctic environments.

While the book covers a vast number of animals. I love how the illustrations and captions tied together food chains and demonstrated animal behaviour. The story covers the history, present, and outlook of both the northern and southernmost parts of our planet.

I really enjoyed this book. While I was expecting a children’s book with basic information and pretty illustrations, this book turned out to be highly informative and interesting for any age reader. I think it is a fun concept to put this story in a flipbook format. I already plan to buy a copy for myself as well as several family members with children.

I received an electronic advanced reader copy from Quarto Publishing Group- Words & Pictures through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

Vividly Illustrated Info About the Poles in Flipbook Format

This colorfully illustrated book uses a fun flipbook format. It is about both the North and South Pole regions. You learn about the North Pole by flipping through the pages immediately after the cover with that name; the other cover says South Pole, and you find out more about the South Pole by flipping through the book from that cover. The best part about the book is the gorgeous, colorful illustrations. Not only were the pictures visually stunning and inviting, but they actually gave a decent sense of what the animals and sea creatures around the poles look like. Each section provides information you would imagine a book like this would have: what each of the poles is; the animals, plants, or humans that inhabit the surface; what goes on beneath the ice or in the surrounding sea, and exploration of it, and more. If you have a child who is fascinated by either the North or South Pole (or both), she or he may be interested in this beautiful flipbook.

Amazing book to teach little ones about people, animals, and plants in the North and South Pole. This book would be great for in-classroom or at home reading. The story is accompanied by beautiful, colorful illustrations that will keep children's attention. The writing style is straight forward, and easy to digest. It would be easy to create classroom activities surrounds this book such as comparing the differences and similarities between the North and South Pole.

This is a very detailed Flip book about the poles of our planet. It includes info bits on various animals, inhabitants, locations, and ways of life. The illustrations are excellent and the read entertaining. This would work for a classroom or just for a kid who likes being cold.

An adorable and informative guide to Earth’s magnetic poles and the flora, fauna and people who live there. Loved all the animal factoids and attention to how the changing climate is affecting the north and south poles. Highly recommend for older kids, especially those with a keen interest in nature.

For the curious of young minds, you and your child will learn more than you can imagine in this short vivid illustrated book the North and South Pole. Not only about the area, but the different animals and sea life that live there. The problems they face and how they have survived. It gives you an appreciation of the unknown. Would make a great gift.

A special thank you to Quatro Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.
