*Kids' Book Review*
"This informative and attractively presented book provides
snapshots of migrating animals from across the globe. The journeys
are long, dangerous, and often arduous yet will surprise the reader
with how complex and determined each species is to reach their
destination."
*Readplus*
"Divided into sections on flying, walking and swimming migrations,
beautiful photographs of creatures such as caribou, wildebeest,
whales, penguins, bats, shearwaters, crabs and salmon are shown,
and their travels explained. [...] This is a good introduction to
this intriguing subject. The text is accurate but not too
complicated and tinged with touches of humour. There are maps, a
glossary, and an index along with a further reading section.
Teachers Notes are available from the CSIRO website."
