Animal Lovers series.
Photos are an apt choice for illustrating board-book nonfiction. Here, the striking full-bleed photos of penguins caring for chicks, diving in water, and waddling through icy landscapes will captivate animal fans. The text, which has one to two sentences per double-page spread, is clear, direct, and enlightening: "A group of penguins in the water is called a RAFT." For more simple nonfiction, look for Maisy Loves Bees, Maisy Loves Trees, and Maisy Loves Water [Maisy's Planet] (Candlewick) by Lucy Cousins featuring the iconic (fictional) white mouse.
