Renowned science writer Wayne Lynch has a passion and fascination for the members of the penguin family. A self-described "penguin addict," he has logged more than 130,000 miles to sit among hundreds, sometimes even thousands of penguins on the far-flung beaches of the Galapagos Islands, Chile, Antarctica and New Zealand. This stocky little bird survives a rocky adolescence and adulthood, to experience territorial squabbles, "marriages," attacks by sea mammals and sometimes months without food as it incubates its eggs through the unrelenting winter. What is a penguin?; Penguins in motion; What's on the menu?; The mating game; Penguin killers; Penguins of the world; With lively, humorous writing and unforgettable photographs, Penguins! explores the daily lives of this feisty seabird survivor. A lively first-person narrative, peppered with journal excerpts, personal observations and anecdotes. In full colour with colour photographs on every page.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
