Ten Animals in Antarctica: A Counting Book by Moira Court


Count from one to ten and travel to Antarctica explore the animals you'll find there

Thoughts: Such a simple concept that is visually stunning. Court's printmaking and collage illustrations are fabulous. The contrast of colors is amazing and there's so much to see on each page. Though classified as a juvenile nonfiction book, the simplicity of the text makes Ten Animals in Antarctica a perfect book for storytime. The additional information at the end of the book about Antarctica and the animals is great. I have very inquisitive storytime kids who will want to know more. 

Themes: Polar Animals, South Pole/Antarctica, The Poles
