Reviews for Baby Penguin's First Waddles

"""It's fall in Antarctica. An emperor penguin lays an egg and passes it to her mate, who keeps it safe and warm for two months, until she returns to feed the hatching chick. The parents continue to hunt in the ocean and regurgitate food for their growing penguin. In summer, the fledgling learns to swim and forage for herself. By fall, she's an adult. A typical page in this large-format book includes a color photo accompanied by a line or a paragraph of text. Vetted by the American Museum of Natural History's ornithology collections manager, the narrative text provides an appealing structure for basic facts about penguins and the stages in their life cycle. The level of information provided is on target for young penguin-lovers but, as often happens in illustrated penguin books, the color photos steal the show. Drawn from many sources, they offer views of penguins standing or waddling on land, tobogganing down icy hills, and swimming in the ocean. An attractive penguin book for children in the primary grades."" --Booklist"
