<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Did you know that Antarctica has no cities? Or that daytime and nighttime last for months in Antarctica? Learn more about the amazing continent of Antarctica, from its explorers and scientists to its landforms, animals, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Antarctica is a fascinating continent, with its South Pole research station and its thick sheets of ice. But did you know that Antarctica has no cities? Or that daytime and nighttime last for months in Antarctica? Learn more about the amazing continent of Antarctica, from its explorers and scientists to its landforms, animals, and more.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>From the striking full-color satellite cover images to the engaging text, informative maps, and high-quality illustrations, every aspect of these titles conveys the basic themes of geography to introduce the continents</strong>. Each volume opens with an interesting fact and locator map, followed by chapters about the continent's countries and cities, landforms, climate, and animals, natural resources, peoples and cultures, and economies. Coverage isn't comprehensive; rather, the authors use iconic examples, such as Carnival for South America, emperor penguins for Antarctica, and the pyramids for Africa. Topics are illustrated with large color photos, and there are at least five informative maps per book, a major strength. Captions provide information or ask comprehension or critical thinking questions. VERDICT: <strong>Solid choices for elementary collections.</strong>--<em>School Library Journal, Series Made Simple</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
