(3) K-3 Illustrated by Camilla de la Bédoyère. The conceit of placing a penguin in human situations helps readers understand the animal's features and capabilities, such as its ability to swim four times faster than humans and hold its breath for five minutes. A sense of humor permeates both the text and accessible cartoon-style illustrations (e.g., the penguin toboggans down a bowling alley). "Fact file" and a map are appended.
