Migration: Incredible Animal Journeys
by Mike Unwin (Author) and Jenni Desmond (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Animals of all shapes and sizes make epic journeys across our planet, through harsh weather, avoiding hungry predators, in their efforts to survive. Travel around the globe with some of the world’s most incredible animals and discover their unique migration stories.

Follow the emperor penguin through snow, ice and bitter temperatures; watch as the great white shark swims 10,000 km in search of seals; track huge herds of elephants, on their yearly hunt for water and be amazed at the millions of red crabs, migrating across Christmas Island.

Snippet:
POLE TO POLE
The Arctic tern travels farther than any other–all the way down the Atlantic Ocean to the Antarctic. While it’s winter in the Arctic, it’s summer in the Antarctic. So with twenty-four hours of daylight there, the tern can keep fishing as long as it likes.

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
