"Up close and personal with the world's largest penguin... Informative
and winning." -- Kirkus
Take to the Antarctic ice to study emperor penguins in this beautiful
nonfiction field guide for kids.
You might know that emperor penguins are the largest penguin species,
but there's so much more to learn about this flightless bird. Turn the
pages to discover what makes them undertake epic journeys every year,
and how scientists have spotted their poop from space! Filled with
simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also explains what
makes emperor penguins such great ocean swimmers, and how their cute
chicks manage to stay warm in freezing Antarctic conditions. It also
looks at the conservation challenges these iconic animals face due to
climate change and melting sea ice.
Written by penguin professor Dr. Michelle LaRue and featuring stunning
illustrations by Pham Quang Phuc, Emperor Penguin (Young Zoologist) is
part of an exciting new series of animal books from Neon Squid aiming to
