North & South – A Tale of Two Hemispheres

By Sandra Morris, Walker Books, $29.99

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. Author-illustrator Sandra Morris contrasts the north and south hemispheres in this book with an environmental focus. She takes an animal from each hemisphere in each month and compares it with another one. All the animals illustrate features in the animal kingdom such as camouflage, mating displays, hiberation and migration. The

Southern Hemisphere animals range through New Zealand and Australia to South Africa. It’s a great concept which clearly explains the differences between the two hemispheres for kids. It also lists their conservation status and includes more references and ways kids can help wildlife. The illustrations are beautiful, making this a great book for kids to learn from. Great book to add to a home or school library.
