Penguins sliding on their tummies and swimming in the sea! Penguins cuddling for warmth and hiding in the shade! A wide variety of these irresistibly charming animals from climates warm and cold dance across the pages of Penguins, Penguins, Everywhere! Award-winning author and artist Bob Barner combines colorful collage images and whimsical verse to make this a funny, bouncy, informative introduction to the world of penguins. The simple text makes this book perfect for the youngest readers, but the array of penguin facts including the "Penguin Parade" with information on all 17 penguin species makes it an ideal choice for older readers as well.
(synopsis from Goodreads)
Here's a cute book about penguins. Written in rhyming verse, it talks about various species of penguins that are found in our world (including "hot penguins" that live in warmer climates).
The illustrations are rather cute. But for me, this book's strength lies in the penguin facts at the end and the "Penguin Parade" that showcases seventeen different varieties of penguin. Kids who love these birds will probably find something to enjoy here.
It's a simple book, and more of a jumping-off point for those who are really interested in penguins. But it's an enjoyable place to start.
