Little Penguin: The Emperor of Antarctica

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Olson. This book relates a young penguin's first year, from hatching atop his father's feet to learning to swim and escaping a leopard seal. Although the text and illustrations are somewhat anthropomorphic, the details represent authentic behavior. Effectively varying perspective, the pictures exploit the sharp contrast between black-and-white penguins and blue-white snow and ice.
