Temperatures that can drop to -144 degrees Fahrenheit (-98 degrees Celsius) certainly are too harsh for most humans. However, some animals are right at home with this intense cold. Young readers will learn about how these creatures known as extremophiles have adapted to these conditions with this exciting title. It explores not only the most frigid habitats on Earth, but also the extraordinary animals that call them home, from polar bears with insulating blubber to emperor penguins with ice shielding feathers. This book features compelling full-color photographs of animals expertly adapted to their frozen habitats, stimulating questions, and an imagination-building coloring activity to help students learn important content following life sciences curricula.
