Trattles, Patrica. Emperor Penguins. 32pp. (Pull-Ahead Animal Series). Photos. Map. Glossary. Further Reading and Websites. Index. Learner Publications Company. 2006. ISBN 0-8225-3484-3.
Waddling in a straight line across the frozen Antarctic, emperor penguins are capable of surviving the cold climate because of their unique body features. Feathers serve multiple purposes, but will they help camouflage the emperor in snow or water? Describing the process of migration, birthing, and raising chicks, the author provides just enough details to enthrall young readers. Using striking yellow print against a bright blue cover, this small book geared for kindergarten through third grade students dives into the life and world of these special creatures. With two or three sentences per page, large print against shiny white pages makes it simple to read. Pristine photos are included on every page, illustrating the facts discussed in the print. From the visual details of webbed feet to the delightful pictures of a newborn chick, the reader will appreciate the difficulties emperor penguins face each year of life.
