Life On The Ice (Exceptional Social Studies Titles for Primary Grades)

From School Library Journal Grade 3-5-This appealing collaboration takes readers on a tour of the world's ice landscapes, primarily Antarctica. The pages are filled with large, beautiful photographs; the text is in large black type on a white background; and sidebars are set in blue ink. The book discusses the nature of the extreme climate, the planes that fly there, the scientists who study it, and what it takes to live in this environment. Back matter offers more information on the planes and the Poles and briefly mentions the animals. At times the book raises more questions than it answers but, overall, its simplifications of a complex subject work.-Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK Copyright
