North and South: A Tale of Two Hemispheres
By Sandra Morris
Thank you to @walkerbooksaus for sending me this book In exchange for an honest read and review
Story π
I currently have a class that are so interested in non-fiction books and this one fit the brief perfectly. The concept of North and South is so great – interesting children to the concept of hemispheres and that opposite sides of the world have opposite weather. One easy way to illustrate this was to pull out some Christmas books from both Australia and other countries and have a look at the differences. It helped us to understand that in the Southern Hemisphere it is hot at Christmas and in the Northern Hemisphere it is cold at Christmas. Very complex and interesting discussion for preschool aged children.
We also loved using this book to explore all the different types of creatures that live in different places across both Hemispheres.
Summary π
This book is really well laid out, the illustrations are great and gives so many interesting facts on different animals, what climate they thrive in and what type of animals they are.
Suggestion π
We loved this one. Itβs perfect for young readers aged 3-9 years and helps introduce them to so many creatures and the concepts of hemispheres. Well recommended!
