Well done!  This nonfiction book has enough visual appeal for the reader to scan and enjoy, and enough “meat” to it to hold your attention.  There is a nice balance and  selection of real black and white photographs, color photographs, maps, captions, and illustrations.  This includes a pull out map at the back, of the Antarctic, which includes Scott’s route to the pole.  Also in the back, an Index, further reading, glossary, timeline, and website.  The website is The American Museum of Natural History and has as much information as any student could desire.  The website was easy enough to navigate and from my one viewing, appropriate for all ages.

The only suggestion that I would have for this well-bound book, would be an improvement with the timeline.  It would be helpful to have it visual, instead of a vertical list.  Have it spaced with approximate proportions to time, maybe include an icon or inset map to show where.
