Penguins by Kate Waters is a fantastic life science book for grades 1-3. This book gives information about the life of penguins. The author give information in regards to penguins behaviors, actions, and characteristics. This book is full of fun info and does not contain any content that should cause concern. This book would be fun to use to do a science project on penguins and their habitats and ways of life. This activity would also serve as a good vocabulary lesson. Great read, and great pictures included.
