This introduction to penguins shows their activities and habits in tropical and polar climates. The pithy rhyming text is nearly upstaged by the eye-catching cut-paper collage illustrations; unfortunately, on many spreads, the text falls too close to the gutter. The book appends a few penguin facts including what they eat and what eats them; a "Penguin Parade" highlights the seventeen different species.
