When Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen crossed Antarctica, more than three million schoolchildren worldwide were inspired by the achievement. For those young fans and for the millions of children yet to be touched by this amazing story, Ann and Liv Cross Antarctica chronicles the historic journey in words and beautiful oil illustrations. The book recounts how Ann and Liv made their dream a reality and shares the fascinating details of the trek: what they packed, what they ate, how they ice-sailed, and what they saw. As inspiring as it is educational, Ann and Liv Cross Antarctica will appeal to schoolchildren everywhere.
I have 8 nieces and nephews, ranging in age from 1 to 12, and bought a few of these books for them as a gift. THEY LOVED IT!The younger ones loved all the colorful pictures and drawings, and the opportunity in the back of the book to "Draw their own Dream", and the older children loved the adventure and excitement as the journey unfolded. It made for great nighttime reading with the children for several nights in a row during my visit, and will be a keepsake amongst their collection. Fantastic!
