this is a comment more than a review - a suggestion really - - - publishers would sell a lot more books if you could read them the way you read them in bookstores. You really need a full preview available and I think there are ways to make those previews impossible to copy. I buy a lot more books from stores because of this issue. If I could, for example, preview a dozen books right now, ten to one - at least one will go in the cart - - but I can't, so none are going in the cart

I was disappointed in this book. The story is merely adequately told and the drawings are pretty but very small. I understand the kudos for illustration but compared to Hurley's real photographs of the adventure, they seem lame.

I've read a lot about the explorers and am no stranger to Shackleton's journeys. This book does a very fine, and entertaining, job of detailing Shackleton's attempt to cross Antarctica by land. This is an oversized picture book suitable for upper-elementary and up. The art is absolutely amazing, using a limited palette of blacks, blues and browns Grill appears to have used pastels or chalks and his use of white space to invoke the emptiness and harshness of the desolate continent is breathtaking. The story is very detailed (including the names of all the crew and 69 dogs) and told in short blocks of text interspersed with the illustrations. The narrative contains quotes from the crew themselves and the narrative voice is entertaining to read. An impressive book, for an introduction to the topic.
