(3) K-3 Animal Planet: My Life in the Wild series. Illustrated by Gary Hanna. A young emperor penguin relates the story of its life, from egg to egg-keeper ("After laying our egg, my partner sets off on her long trek back to our feeding ground..."). The text is easy to follow, with accessible vocabulary and an engaging narrative voice. Accompanying digital-looking illustrations are lifelike and vivid. Additional facts and a quiz are appended. Glos.
