PreS-Gr 1—Richmond collaborates with American Museum of Natural History ornithology expert Paul Sweet to offer this charming factual story about how emperor penguins hatch and grow to maturity. Illustrated with large, stunning photos, the explanatory text is clearly aligned with each relevant image. Readers will delight at the chick's first steps and gape at the mother regurgitating food. Designed for young children, the vocabulary is appropriately challenging, especially for classes who will use the book as a read-aloud.
VERDICT While there are several options for this age group studying penguins, there may never be enough—this is an easy purchase where budgets allow.
