This story tells you all about the life of a penguin. They are an unique bird because they do not fly ye they swim. People hunt penguins for their feathers and skin. THe book also mention that people use the penguin poop "guano" to fertilize soil.

This is a really useful and informative resource on penguins. Kids will find it to be very reader-friendly because the font is kind of big and there are plenty of great pictures (with helpful captions). There is a lot of information here but I think it's presented in a way that makes it very accessible to a wide range of readers.
