Description

"Up close and personal with the world's largest penguin... Informative and winning." -- Kirkus Take to the Antarctic ice to study emperor penguins in this beautiful nonfiction field guide for kids.

It also looks at the conservation challenges these iconic animals face due to climate change and melting sea ice.
