Trapped by the Ice!: Shackleton's Amazing Antarctic Adventure Paperback – Picture Book, 1 May 2002

My 7 year old granddaughter is studying the artic and antarctic virtually from school. I told her about Shackleton which she hadn't learnt about. I sent her this book which arrived the following day, thank you Amazon, and she sat down and read it cover to cover and really found it interesting.

I like illustrated historical books for children. The visual images bring it alive and spark the imagination

Well written factual story. Useful for our explorers topic in Y3

Easy to read factual story with beautiful illustrations

I bought this for my male pupils who are yet to love picking up a book. This has been a page turning hit and is an absolute gem.

Great version of Shackleton's incredible journey and perfect to use as stimulus for writing in the classroom

Great way of telling story . Used it to relate a unit of work.

Not a particularly interesting book but was ok for the topic box in class when we did Polar Explorers

I love the book Endurance, and I wanted to get my nephew his own version of the story. This book is matched well to his reading level, and the illustrations are gorgeous. Really a wonderful Christmas gift, and a tremendous subject matter.

Great book. I love anything Shackleton!

Recently returned from a trip to the Antarctic where I met Chris wilson, the grand-nephew of Dr. Edward Wilson who accompanied Robert F. Scott to the south Pole and died there with him. A naturalist with a specialty in ornithology, Chris's passion is contagious. So I found this book for my grandsons, age 7 and 5, and was impressed with the book's beautiful artwork as well as the simple way Scott's story is told. During this trip I also met an anthropologist who'd met Peter Scott, Robert Scott's son who was 2 years old when his father died. found out that JM Barry and Robert Scott were close friends and that Peter was the model and inspiration for 'Peter Pan'.

My 8-year old avid reader was thrilled to receive this gift and read it almost immediately.
