NORTH - Nick Dowson

NORTH
The Amazing Storyof Arctic Migration.
By Nick Dowson
Illustrated by Patrick Benson

This striking account of arctic migration offers a northerly, book-bound counterpart to “March of the Penguins.”
Dowson’s descriptions are both simple and poetic, as polar bears, gray whales, jaegers, snow geese and pregnant caribou make their way from points south toward the North Pole in Benson’s sumptuous, shimmery paintings. Appropriately oversize considering its vast majesty, this book will inspire in young readers an equally outsize sense of wonder. - NYT Review
