King of the Penguins.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book talks about baby penguins and how they grow up. The book focuses on king penguins because that is the breed of penguin that the author and photographer studied and observed. BABY PENGUINS is very interesting. I learned several things about penguins that I never knew before, e.g. that after several months the parent penguins abandon their children so that they can learn to swim and fish on their own. The pictures that accompany the text are very realistic and add to the books authenticity. BABY PENGUINS includes a short "Did You Know?" section at the end of the book filled with other penguin related facts. A very informative science book that especially makes a nice gift for anyone who likes penguins.
