Description
Fully-illustrated and with a fun and innovative flip-book format, the book provides the perfect way to explore and compare the extreme environments of the two Poles.
Take a trip to the ends of the earth and discover the extreme environments of the North and South Poles. Find out which animals live where, what the weather and climate is like and the effect global warming is having.
Beginning with the North Pole, the book introduces the geography and climate of the Arctic. Readers will discover how climate change is affecting sea ice and why multi-year ice is so important to walruses and polar bears. Find out what ice floes are and what lives under the ice. The many uses of the Arctic are explained, from the home it provides to whale hunters to the rocket and missile test sites it houses.
And then flip the book over and you arrive in the South Pole… The famous race to reach the pole in 1911 is retold and readers will discover why the orca is the ultimate polar predator. The huge tabular icebergs, sub-glacial lakes, and ice chimneys of the Antarctic are brought to life in all their impressive glory, not to mention the sea spiders, 'death star' starfish and other undersea giants!

I loved this book so much. I want this in my native language.
The two-side book's idea is very creative, but my favourite part was the art style and drawings. They were so beautiful. I loved the baby polar bears, they were so cute :D Also the text was very interesting. There was a lot of new information for me.
I recommend it for everyone, it was very interesting.

I was fortunate to read a prereleased copy of this book via netgalley. It's beautifully illustrated and very well laid out. My little one found it really interesting. Look forward to reading the paperback version.

I really enjoyed this book and the flip design, with 2 sides for each of the poles. This is such a great way for organising all the information.
There are great illustrations throughout and the information is given in fairly small paragraphs so it is easy to read.
My son really enjoyed the information contained and liked the style of the book. A big thumbs up in our house.

This book has such beautiful illustrations throughout and is just lovely. It has lots of facts in small paragraphs so it isn't too overwhelming and I love the way it separated the north and south poles as people often get confused between them.

A lovely book. Beautifully illustrated and with interesting and accessible text. The flip book aspect will appeal to young readers who will enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to compare and contrast the two regions. There is plenty of detailed information about wildlife and birds to appeal to the reader too.
