School Library Journal

Gr 1-2-Beginning readers can find a clear and concise discussion of the differences between the poles in this introduction to the geography, climate, and inhabitants of the top and the bottom of our world. Explaining that the North Pole is water (Arctic Ocean) surrounded by land, Levinson covers what is found in the northern-most region before moving on to facts about the South Pole, which is land (the continent of Antarctica) surrounded by water. Hearn's colorful illustrations in white, blue, and teal green depict a number of the animal inhabitants, all identified. Final pages summarize facts about each region. This is a fine addition to science shelves for children needing short sentences and simple vocabulary explained in context.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
