Antarctica: The Melting Continent

As a home educator brilliant and beautiful books form the heart and soul of our learning

We love spending time together as a family reading aloud and talking about what we read

One of our favourite genres is narrative non fiction

A book filled with facts shared through story

That story might be entirely fictional or a recount of real life events

Antarctica: The Melting Continent is a stunning book

Packed with facts and gorgeous illustrations

The writing is beautiful and incredibly readable

Through the pages readers can explore the wonders of Antarctica

We learn the history and geology of the frozen continent

As we follow in the footsteps of explorers and scientists

We learn about the effects of climate change and global warming

We begin to understand that time is running out

For the fascinating wildlife that thrives in the harsh polar conditions

We begin to see that learning about Antarctica is important

Feeling a connection to this expanse of ice at the bottom of the world is vital

Because we need people to go there

Explorers, scientists, researchers

We need to learn more about what we can do to protect and preserve this frozen continent

And how we can use what we learn to protect and preserve the planet

Through the pages of this book young eco warriors can be inspired

They can see what has been discovered, what has been done

And what more there is to do

There are pages in this book that piece together the history of Antarctica

Through fascinating finds

That teach readers about the continent by introducing special studies and missions

We learn about Antarctic wildlife and food chains

We learn about lakes and glaciers, mountains and undersea forests

We observe penguins, seals and whales

We discover what life is like on the ice continent

For the human citizens of Antarctica

We think about how to get there, where to stay, what to wear

We explore a research station

This is a book designed to inspire and inform

A way for us to find out why and how Antarctica is changing

And what this special place can tell us about our planet’s future

A wonderful book, brilliantly written with incredible artwork

A fantastic resource for schools and educators

Antarctica: The Melting Continent would also make a beautiful gift
