A Kid's Guide to Antarctica takes young readers (ages 9-12) on an exciting and colorful adventure to the iciest, driest, windiest continent on Earth—ANTARCTICA! The book helps today’s young explorers learn about the continent’s history, geography, wildlife, and more. The large format (8 ½ x 11) includes dramatic full-color photos that help tell the story of Antarctica and the people who live there, if only for brief periods of time. Designed primarily for recreational, high-interest reading, the book is also a great resource for students to use to research geography topics or writing assignments. A Kid’s Guide to Antarctica is one in a series of books about countries and cultures around the world published by Curious Kids Press. Other books in the series feature Ancient Egypt, Australia, China, Costa Rica, England, France, Iceland, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Scandinavia and Finland, South Africa, Thailand, and the United States, along with three special editions focusing on the U.S. state of Hawaii, Planet Earth, and the continent of South America.
