Penguins’ streamlined bodies and flippers are perfectly suited to their aquatic surroundings.Penguins are not all alike. There are many different breeds, ranging in size from the diminutive Little Blue to the regal Emperor. And not all penguins live in Antarctica!This lavishly illustrated book is sure to delight readers young and old with informative details of penguins’ life cycle, habitat, diet, and environment.
