Two stanzas of awkwardly rhymed verse and a paragraph of facts describe the migrating habits of ten animals including caribou, Arctic terns, and loggerhead turtles. The book, with realistic-looking animals rendered in an earthy palette, makes a useful, if very limited, introduction to the topic. Additional information about the animals and a map showing approximate migration routes are appended. Reading list, websites.

A list of four related organizations and their websites is included. Bib.
