"This is a nonfiction book that explains the life of the Emperor Penguin. The emperor penguin is a bird, but it cannot fly. The female penguin lays one egg per year and the male takes care of the egg until it hatches. This book gives a description of the emperor penguin, explains where they live, what they eat and what animals hunt the emperor penguin.At the end of the book is a picture labeling the penguin body parts, a glossary, and a bibliography. The photos are colorful, the binding is good, the cost is reasonable and it is not an award book. I would add to my collection to use for instructional purposes. -Wanda T. Heath, J.E.B.
