Great fun submitted by chelseavp on August 6, 2014, 9:37pm This book tells the story of a girl's adventure to Antarctica with her Dad on an icebreaker. It is cleverly told in diary form, and is very informative. My 5 year old son, who is enamored with all things polar listened intently through multiple readings. Great photos and charming drawings.

Delightful! submitted by smgop on June 21, 2022, 8:27pm What an inventive idea for a book.
