It's very cold in Antarctica, and the Terra Nova is crowded with both
men and animals. Tom the sailor is looking for a quiet and cozy place
for his pet rabbit to have her babies. From high in the rigging to down
in the hold, the crewman takes readers all through the ship while he
searches for a spot where his rabbit can make her nest. Based on the
diaries of men who sailed to the South Pole on board the Terra Nova in
1910 with Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Tom Crean's Rabbit introduces
the historic voyage to young readers. Kitchen's stunning illustrations
capture the magnificence of the Antarctic landscape and notes in the
back of the book provide more information about the expedition and
detail the adventures of the book's hero.
