Antarctica: Land of the Penguins

Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4-11 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical ideas for guided reading are included at the back of each book.

The survival of the white continent's most famous inhabitants is the subject of this beautiful book. The beauty of Antarctic and its penguin population is brought to life with a delightful series of photographs by the Big Cat Diaries team of Jonathan and Angela Scott.

A poster on pages 30 and 31 advertises the highlights and attractions of the magical land of Antarctica, providing opportunities for speaking, listening and writing activities.

White (Band 10) books contain more complex sentences, with unusual vocabulary and a larger number of unfamiliar terms. There is more use of literary and figurative language.
