Reviews
"The art is a smooth constant; the graphic design is exceptional, and most poems have their own spread, building a multilevel and vibrant world."--School Library Journal, "From hummocks and bummocks to frazil and floebergs, an introduction in poems and explanatory notes to ice's many states and formations. Gianferrari's sonorous drifts of free verse are sometimes confusingly allusive on first reading--'Cat ice whorls / Swirl and twirl. / Brinicles sink, / Plume and bloom. // Pancake ice stacks / Smack and crack'--but make clearer sense after examining the illustrations and reading the extensive notes at the end. Readers who think ice in nature comes only in sheets, floating chunks, or icicles are in for an eye-opening experience as, in naturalistic vignettes and vistas, Chen depicts silky strands of hair ice around twigs and needle-thin spikes emerging from frozen ground; freezing seawater undergoing subtle color changes while crystallizing from 'frazil' to 'grease ice,' 'nilas,' and ultimately free-floating sea ice; and, when temperatures rise, aging into 'rotten' or 'candle' ice before melting to begin the 'ice cycle' again. Though the author neglects to note that water boils at 212 degrees only at sea level (and simplistically claims that it comes only in three states), she finishes off handsomely, listing types of terrestrial and marine ice (of which 'new' sea ice alone has seven); explaining how floebits, floebergs, brash ice, and growlers are distinguished by their size ranges; defining numerous other special terms; then closing with leads to books, videos, and science projects. Bundled-up human figures in the pictures are rare and small but do show variations in skin color. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A rewarding exploration of a common substance's complex nature."--Kirkus Reviews, "This is a beautiful book about the various stages and places that ice can grow. The blue-and-white dominated illustrations are beautiful, while the ratio of pictures to words is just right. The book begins with ice being water, and it continues through the various life stages until the ice becomes a glacier. Along the way, readers are introduced to the various forms that ice can take, with detailed pictures that are ideal for the visual learner. This is a wonderful book for wintertime as well as a great addition to an elementary science class. The explanations of various life cycles of ice at the end provide a thorough learning experience for curious and science-minded children. Includes instructions for an activity to grow ice spikes. Highly recommended for any young elementary library. What a great tool to use in teaching children about ice! Reviewer Rating: 5" -Children's Literature

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
