Synopsis

Read and find out about penguins in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

An emperor penguin lays an egg on the Antarctic ice. In the bitter cold, miles away from the only source of food, how can the chick survive? A father penguin keeps his mate's egg warm by balancing it on his feet for two entire months. Learn how penguin parents take care of their babies in one of Earth's coldest, most desolate environments.
