Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-5-Traveling by dogsled, snowmobile, reindeer sled, and nuclear-powered icebreaker, the authors of this book embark on a fantastic journey through the stark beauty of the lands and waters of the Arctic Circle. The trek begins in a small village in Greenland and wends its way through Arctic Canada, Siberia, and ultimately to the top of the Earth-the ice-covered waters that surround the North Pole. Along the way, children meet various inhabitants of this harsh land, catching glimpses of lives that involve hunting and fishing for food, building igloos for temporary shelter, and leading a nomadic existence among herds of reindeer. All manner of animals are also introduced, including ringed seals, musk oxen, and snowy owls. The superb, full-color photographs alone are reason enough to enjoy this book; the short chapters and easy-to-follow text make it accessible to readers of many ages and skill levels.
