From the author of Ghosts in the Fog comes a story that will appeal to
lovers of history, adventure, and dogs. Byrd & Igloo is the first
narrative nonfiction audiobook to tell the daring adventures of
legendary polar explorer and aviator Richard Byrd and his lovable dog
explorer, Igloo. Byrd is known for being the first to fly a plane over
the North and South Poles, while Igloo is famous for being the only dog
to explore both the North and South Poles. The adventures of Byrd and
Igloo opened the door for science and research in the Antarctic.
Featuring direct quotes from letters, diaries and interviews, newspaper
clippings, expedition records, maps, charts, as well as
never-before-seen photos, it will give the complete story of the
explorers' journey. Though rooted in history with evidence from many
museums and research centers, Byrd & Igloo will be exciting in tone,
making it accessible and interesting for young listeners.
