书籍简介

由广受好评的《北方森林》的作者撰写，这本书对适应在地球严酷的极地地区生存的动物进行了令人惊叹的探索。

北极和南极洲位于地球的两端，有很多共同点：严寒、狂风和持续六个月的黑暗。 尽管条件恶劣，许多动物已经适应了在极地地区的生存。 这本令人回味且插图精美的书由作家 L. E. Carmichael 和插画家 Byron Eggenschwiler 的获奖团队创作，探讨了地球两端的动物如何通过类似的适应来生存。 北极狐通过脚底的毛皮来保护自己免受冰冻的影响，帝企鹅则聚集在幼崽周围，为每个人保暖，而独角鲸则利用回声定位来寻找冰面裂缝来呼吸。 这是一次在极地地区度过一年的迷人旅程，在那里，动物不仅生存下来，而且还茁壮成长！

书中的每一页都以一个月为主题，包括主题介绍和对页的两个故事，一个关于北极的动物，一个关于南极洲的动物。 额外的优惠涵盖季节、冬季天气和冰的类型等主题。 该书最后及时描述了气候变化对极地地区造成的破坏，以及这将如何产生全球后果。 其中包括词汇表、进一步阅读、作者来源、索引以及儿童可以提供帮助的想法。 这里的生命科学课程在动物栖息地和动物适应、迁徙、冬眠与合作方面有很强的应用。

From the author of the critically acclaimed The Boreal Forest, a stunning exploration of the animals that have adapted to survive in Earth’s harsh polar regions.

The Arctic and Antarctica, at opposite ends of the Earth, have much in common: bitter cold, ferocious winds and darkness lasting six months. Despite these harsh conditions, many animals have adapted to stay alive in the polar regions. This evocative and beautifully illustrated book from the award-winning team of author L. E. Carmichael and illustrator Byron Eggenschwiler explores how animals at opposite ends of the Earth survive using similar adaptations. There’s the arctic fox who is protected from the ice by the fur on the soles of her feet, the emperor penguins huddling in groups around their chicks to keep everyone warm, and the narwhal using echolocation to find a crack in the surface ice to breathe. It’s a fascinating journey through a year in the polar regions, where animals don’t just survive - they thrive!

Each spread in the book is devoted to a month and includes a themed introduction and two stories on opposites pages, one about an animal in the Arctic and one about an animal in Antarctica. Extra spreads cover topics such as seasons, winter weather and types of ice. The book concludes with a timely description of the disruptions that climate change is causing to the polar regions, and how this will have global consequences. A glossary, further reading, author’s sources, an index and ideas for what children can do to help are included. There are strong life science curriculum applications here in animal habitats and animal adaptation, migration, hibernation and cooperation.
