review 1: I know this is an imagined story about a little nine year old girl who gets to travel to Antarctica with her father on his ship, an ice breaker on its way to Mawson to make the final delivery before the community is cut off, and to deliver some scientists and other wrokers who will spend the winter there. Yet, Alison Lester based the book on her real life experiences and includes much information, about the ship, the animals who live there, what the workers do, and bits about the harsh weather there. During her own voyage, Alison contacted schools all over via e-mail about her trip. Some of the pictures that children sent her are included in the book, along with small sketches that explain some things, photographs that explain others. It’s a “full” book of informatio... moren given in the text as well as the illustrations. What an adventure to be able to experience such a voyage on the Aurora Australis!
review 2: My first 10/5 stars children's book! Told through photos of a service dog, who works with a vet who has PTSD. I think it teaches numerous lessons about what service dogs actually do. The book would also be a great intro to the discussion of our service person's sacrifice for our freedoms, PTSD and that the life of a service dog isn't all work and no play. The method (pictures) that this book is told through is sheer perfection. If this book was illustrated, I don't think it would have the same power. less
