Book on Penguins

I really enjoyed the book called Penguins by Gail Gibbons. I did a unit on penguins for student teaching and the children and I loved reading this book and learning about the penguins.

Penguins - Another Gail Gibbons Masterpiece

As with "Whales" Gail Gibbons continues to distinguish herself as one of the premier authors of non-fiction books for the young. Graceful illustrations of every kind of penguin plus interesting and new facts for even the most seasoned adult viewers of the Discovery Channel. Large print, along with thoughtful pronunciation guides, makes it easy for younger readers. An absolute joy to read!
