From the February issue

Disneynature: Migration. DVD. 25 min. (closed captioned). with tchr’s. guide. Disney Educational Prods. 2009. ISBN 1-59753-239-8. $49.95.

Gr 3-9–Featuring stunning photography, clear narration, and loads of intriguing facts, this production explores migration patterns of several creatures, including in-depth look at the ocean migration of the humpback whales, the amazing overland journey of the wildebeest (which is one of the largest migrations on earth), and the very brief migration of the red crab, which travels from the rain forest to the sea and back again in about a week. The incredible movement of sea birds and the well-known migration of the monarch butterfly are also explored. Throughout, the reasons various animals migrate are examined, focusing on those that migrate for food or to breed. The excellent narration is well-paced throughout the production. The DVD also includes an educator’s guide that can be downloaded to a computer, a quiz, and a detailed presentation on the sea turtle. All aspects of the film work together to create an intriguing and entertaining educational experience.–Deanna Romriell, Salt Lake City Public Library, UT
