- Reading
- Browse the contents together and let your child choose a topic first. Try one of the listed projects afterwards, using it as a chance to revisit an idea from the book.
- Themes
- Polar environments and living things: The book covers polar landscapes, tundra, seasonal extremes, wildlife and who eats what. These subjects are presented as informational coverage of polar places and their living things.
- People and polar research: Sections address Inuit people, a herder’s life, exploration, modern life and scientific research. The topics are included as part of the book’s account of human life and activity in polar regions.
- Conserving polar environments: The overview says it is necessary to conserve the unique environments of the poles, and the contents include protecting wildlife. The book clearly supports conservation as important.
- Worth knowing
- Conservation is presented as important, not merely as another topic. The book also covers extreme daylight and darkness, polar exploration and wildlife; the depth and tone of these sections are unclear.
