Great 4 ESOL Class

This is a great book for kids and adults alike! I am currently using it with my adult ESOL class, and they're really enjoying it. The pictures bring this amazing true story to life!
Excellent nonfiction title for young readers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
My six-year-old child finished this book recently. We, both, enjoyed the writing, illustrations, and photographs. My child reads at around middle 3rd, early 4th grade level so this book was not technically diffcult for her but it did hold her attention very well. I have found the Stepping Stones series of books to be an excellent source of light reading for children who enjoy books with strong plots, especially nonfiction.
Great book

My son (almost 7) just finished this book, he liked a lot. It was an easy, interesting story, with good lessons. I recommend the book.
Wonderful introduction to Shackleton
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have been a huge fan of the Shackleton expetion/adventure ever since I learned about it. Mostly, I have gleaned my information from more adult sources. Then much to my surprise I stumble across the "kiddie version" that summarizes the incredible survival story in an easy-to-read chapter book. The story is still there, the writing is at a great level for readers ready for something a bit more challenging, and I loved the mix of illustrations and authentic photographs.
