This book is wonderfully illustrated and reads well. The only flaw I have with it is sometimes it's hard to tell if you should read from page to page or read it left to right across both. However I loved the storytelling while still being factual. ( )

This book is beautifully illustrated and details the life cycle of the Emperor Penguin in a lovely, factual way. There's no fictional story, no characters to remember, simply the familial responsibilities of the Emperor Penguin family! Jane Chapman does a beautiful job depicting the habits of the animals. ( )

Describes the parental behavior of Emperor penguins, focusing on how the male keeps the egg warm until it hatches and how the parents care for the chick after it is born.

I wasn't sure about the reader at first but I ended up liking the reader. I like this book because it presents all this information without being boring and I like how the pictures are structured differently on each page. This book does a great job with presenting information to make students think and entourage them to learn more but also asks question to help put the students in the mind of a penguin. The language in this book is simple so it will be good for younger audiences. This book would be good for a lesson on penguins, Antartica, or a good research tool. ( )
