Icebergs brighten as the sky peels itself of darkness and stretches awake. . . . Welcome, Summer. We''ve been waiting for you. Experience summer like you''ve never experienced it before by traveling to Antarctica with evocative poetry. The sun rises, ice melts, grass grows, seals squabble, whales sing, and young penguins slide, glide, and belly flop. Whimsical illustrations and additional facts accompany each poem to provide further details about the animals and the environment at the bottom of the world.
