(2) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Helen K. Davie. This is an impressive introduction to emperor penguin growth and development. The clear, accurate book presents information in a manner that trusts children's intelligence without taking away from their fascination with nature. The illustrations capture penguin movements; a growth timeline allows readers to compare the stages in penguin development. Two appended experiments are well matched to the topic.
