“I don't think I've ever seen a book quite like this one--and I mean that in a good way! It's a collection of poems, all about Emperor penguins. They're fun and often silly, but also really educational. This would be great for animal lovers, zoo goers, or preschoolers or elementary school children learning about penguins or the Arctic.”
