Editorial Reviews

11/01/2015
Gr 3–6—Marisco deftly presents general information about topics such as temperature, light, and precipitation with a few examples of extremes. She delves into the forces that produce extreme conditions and explains adaptations humans and animals undergo to cope. The Hottest and the Coldest includes information on scientists who study Antarctic wildlife and hydrothermal ocean vents. Most examples relate to natural phenomena such as ice caves or polar night. However, The Oldest and the Newest considers a megalithic building in France and the world's newest country: South Sudan. The Highest and the Lowest contrasts brutal living and working conditions for gold miners high in the Andes and deep underground in South Africa. Small maps pinpoint each location as the topic is introduced. Generous white space, relevant photos, and engaging text will hold readers' attention. VERDICT Solid offerings that back up facts with interesting examples.
