This book, which is a companion to the Great Migrations show that aired on the National Geographic Channel will be a must read for future students in my class who love exploring the natural world. The photography in this book is stunning. The layout is very interesting. And finally, for kids who were like me growing up, the little factoids of information are completely awesome. For example did you know the queen of an army ant colony lays about 14 million eggs in her lifetime. Yikes!
Grades 2-5. GREAT photographs that only National Geographic can do. Interesting facts for animal lovers.
The pictures and maps that accompany these facts are fantastic.
Published in conjunction with National Geographic's Great Migrations TV miniseries, this book gives a brief overview of the migration patterns of several different animals. Stunning photographs accompany basic facts about each animal's migration. This book will make a useful companion guide for students watching the Great Migration episodes or studying migration.
