by Steve Jenkins

The Top of the World: Climbing Mount Everest Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this stunning picture book, Steve Jenkins takes us to Mount Everest - exploring its history, geography, climate, and culture. This unique book takes readers on the ultimate adventure of climbing the great mountain. Travel along and learn what to pack for such a trek and the hardships one may suffer on the way to the top. Avalanches, frostbite, frigid temperatures, wind, and limited oxygen are just a few of the dangers that make scaling this peak one of the most extreme physical challenges one can experience. To stand on the top of Mount Everest is to stand on top of the world. With informative text and exquisitely detailed cut paper illustrations, Steve Jenkins brings this extreme journey alive for young adventurers.

Synopsis:

Jenkins has created a striking tour-de-force in this picture book that follows a climber on his way up the imposing face of Mount Everest. Illustrations.
