Book Overview
Journey south of the equator to the cold-water currents of South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica, where seventeen different types of penguins reside. An early explorer wrote, "We came across a multitude of strange birds. They could not fly, but ran quickly enough to get away from us.... Nature appears to have endowed them with great agility: they are wonderful swimmers." In The World of Penguins, critically acclaimed biologist and wildlife educator Evelyne Daigle, brings readers an in-depth view into the fascinating environment of these exquisite birds. The riveting text coupled with detailed illustrations by well-known, wildlife illustrator Daniel Grenier, will capture readers everywhere as they take "flight" into the land and underwater world of penguins.
