"Penguins!"

A variety of facts are provided about penguins, such as the biggest kind and the smallest kind.  There are description of penguins and pictures of the different types.  A map is color-coded to show where different kinds of penguins live.  The author talks about penguins as they were millions of years ago.  She describes what they can do, what they eat, and how they form colonies.  She talks about courting among penguins and what happens before their young are born.  The author talks about the chicks once they are born and she explains why penguins are in danger.

I would have students do research on one of the kinds of penguins in the  book and find some information that they can share with the class.
