Take a stunning journey to the ends of the earth through the colorful fluid motion of
Photicular® technology. A phenomenon first seen in the bestsellers Safari and Ocean
Photicular technology uses sliding lenses and video imagery to display realistic living motion
in the pages of a book. It’s like a movie in your hand. Penguins waddle in their irresistibly
happy way. A walrus lumbers across the snowy landscape. There’s a polar bear with her lively
cubs. A beluga whale breaching. A team of sled dogs sprinting directly at the viewer. And the
miracle of the Northern Lights shimmering like a silk rainbow through the star-filled night.
National Geographic writer Carol Kaufmann brings the reader along on a voyage to the North and
South Poles and writes a lively and informative essay for each image including vital
statistics for each animal such as their size range habitat and more.
