For readers aged 5 and over, the inspiring writer Nicola Davies teams up with illustrator Catherine Rayner in Emperor of the Ice. Rayner's snowy images invoke an Antarctic chill nicely, while Davies's rich, stately text describes the breeding cycle of the emperor penguin - and the dangers and disruption facing this species as the sea ice melts.

stunning, full-bleed illustrations complement the text and show off the Antarctic’s changing colors....zoologist Davies’ enthusiasm for the natural world and her ability to shed light on it for a young audience are on full display.
