UNSURE whether penguins or polar bears live at the North Pole? Or whether the Antarctic is at the top or bottom of the globe? Then this is the perfect book for you. This clever yet easy-to-read guide to all things polar has much to offer the more savvy reader too. It neatly deals with the question “Is the ice melting?” and explains how creatures in these regions cope with the extreme cold. You’d be an idiot to miss it.
