Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-9-The resonate voice of narrator James Earl Jones and majestic music complement this stunning photographic journey through the Earth's climates and animal inhabitants. Emphasis is placed on a polar bear family, a family of elephants, and a humpback whale and her child as they are followed through a season of life.ÅMany other species are pictured, but not named.ÅMost geographic locations are not identified. While the camera does not dwell on bloody scenes, younger children might be upset at the sight of a pride of lions attacking baby elephants and a starving polar bear who lays down to die.ÅThe majority of the film footage originated in BBC's Planet Earth series. This title, correlated to National Curriculum Standards, will enhance science units and research activities.-Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
