Wow! This is a really informative book about penguins. It could seem boring, but it wasn't. The facts were interesting, and the pictures were amazing!!! Those pictures were worth looking at the book alone.

I'm sure I've read this book a long time ago although I don't remember. It is a part of a collection that is (or was) sold at Sea World. About 15 years ago or so, we had annual passes when our kids were little, and we would visit at least once a month, and we'd buy one or two new books each time we visited.

This time I read this book with my youngest son who has only been to Sea World maybe two times as he wasn't born yet when we had the annual passes. He wanted to learn more about penguins and Antarctica after reading the Magic Tree House books about penguins and Antarctica. We have at least three more books we plan to read. I wish I could take him to Sea World to observe the penguins. He would probably enjoy that.

I have read at least 20 children's books on Penguins preparing for a talk I gave to a school group this Spring. This book is probably the most informative. I learned so many facts that other books didn't have. Here is one fact. Penguins can drink salt water and not die because they have a special gland near their eyes that extract the salt from their bodies--so they cry the salt out in their tears.
