Each book features a country, location or time period where subjects such as geography, history, vocabulary, reading, language, science, mathematics, music and art come alive through engaging auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning styles.

Read about the history of the South Pole race between Scott and Amundsen, and experiment how weight is best pulled across snow and how to stay warm in frigid temperatures. Explore the flora and fauna of Antarctica, identifying different species of penguins and learning their anatomy and life cycles and habitat with interactive activities. Investigate the different kinds of glaciers around the world and how snowflakes are formed and test how the composition of glaciers can affect their ability to withstand thawing.
