(4) K-3 Road to Reading series. Illustrated by David LaFleur. With short, simple sentences, Penner describes Shackleton's 1914 attempted expedition to Antarctica. The complete rescue and the most dramatic moments are included, such as Shackleton's plucking a crew member out of the icy water as the floe split beneath their tent, but quotations are undocumented. The text is illustrated with adequate artwork and four black-and-white photographs.
