Description
Antarctica–vast, cold, and mysterious. This frozen continent is full of incredible stories. Here you can discover incredible wildlife, awe-inspiring landscapes, and adventurous scientists and explorers.
Join author Karen Romano Young on a trip across Antarctica, hanging out with people and animals and learning about how this special place is changing, and what it means for our planet. Hang out with some of the coolest creatures on earth above and below the ice as you meet emperor penguins, killer whales, and elephant seals. Suit up for the cold and explore some of the harshest landscapes on earth, following in the footsteps of brave explorers. And learn about how scientists survive here today and what they do all day–from studying climate change to investigating ice cores almost a million years old to learn about the history–and future–of our planet.
Includes a glossary and index.

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.
