Description

Meredith Hooper (au); Bert Kitchen (il). It’s Christmas Eve, 1910, & Tom the Sailor’s pet rabbit needs a place to rest. This true story is based on the diaries of men who sailed with British explorer Capt. Robert Scott on his second expedition to Antarctica. Hooper wrote this captivating story after carefully researching sailors’ diaries, & visiting Antarctica herself. Based on an actual past event, the book gives a personalized look at shipboard life during a great adventure. Youngsters will be delighted to spot a cat curled up in a hammock, sailors getting ready to celebrate the holiday, & penguins on the floating ice! The art work beautifully plays the heartwarming feeling of the story against the frozen splendor of the Antarctic seas.
