Emperor Penguins

This book introduces young animal lovers to a penguin family and the important role of an animal dad.

Discover how male emperor penguins take a crucial role in incubating the egg and raising the chick. Learn all about the life cycle of an emperor penguin chick. And discover how these endangered animals live, hunt, and raise their families in one of the harshest, most inhospitable habitats on Earth.
