“Students who are wild about penguins and classrooms doing units on them will find The Emperor’s Egg an action-packed read.” — School Library Journal

Can you imagine spending the winter outdoors in Antarctica without anything at all to eat? That’s just what the male Emperor penguin does. While his mate is off swimming in the ocean and catching loads of fish, he stands around in the freezing cold with an egg on his feet for two whole months, keeping it warm and waiting for it to hatch. This charming, oversize picture book is full of fabulous facts about nature’s most devoted dad.
Back matter includes an index.

The lively text and Jane Chapman’s wonderful illustrations will enthrall youngsters
—School Library Journal

Among the most charming books of 1999 is an usually playful book on biology that you can read with a 2-year-old or use for your second-grader’s science report…. quite a perfect children’s book, not to mention the fact that it’s hard to find good books that celebrate fathers.
—Nick Jr. Magazine

Budding ornithologists will enjoy this lively and informative book.
