Arktische Welt: Nein, nicht ein weiteres Abenteuer mit Philipp und Anne auf einer "Baumhaus-Reise", sondern ein faszinierendes Sachbuch über das nördliche Polargebiet. Mit viel Hintergrundwissen, Liebe zum Detail und aus den verschiedensten Blickwinkeln berichten die beiden Autorinnen über das Leben innerhalb des Polarkreises der Arktis. Auffallend: Weder beschönigen sie das teilweise grausam anmutende Fressverhalten der Tiere, noch verharmlosen sie die einmal mehr vernichtenden Einflüsse der Menschen auch auf diesen Teil der Welt. Spannend und informativ geschrieben, mit vielen schwarz-weiss Fotos (teilweise älteren Datums) und Zeichnungen untermalt, vermag dieses Buch Leseratten genauso wie (Jung-)Forscher und Entdecker in den Bann zu ziehen. Als Nachschlagewerk sollte es in keiner Jugendbibliothek fehlen und nach dem Lesen des Buches weiss jeder, was eine Aurora borealis ist, kennt den Unterschied zwischen einem Kajak und einem Umiak und kann auf Anhieb sagen, wieviel Knut''s Eisbärenmutter während ihrer Schwangerschaft zugenommen hat. Ab 8 Jahren, *****, Christin Barmet.
