Award-winning nature photographer Jonathan Chester captures the essence of the Antarctic's most popular residents to illustrate the similarities between penguins' lives and our own. Patrick Regan's clever narrative offers surprising insights and humorously entertaining life lessons. The appeal of penguins is undeniable and universal. And we can learn a lot from these fat, funny birds. Lessons like: The meek sleep alone, It's better to be smart than cute, and You can be too thin. Includes helpful environmental information about the penguin habitat and the effects of global warming, including Web sites that show how you can help. One UK reads writes; 'The pictures are beautiful and there are lots of interesting penguin facts, but the jokes are pretty bad and clearly aimed at an adult American audience. I got where they were coming from, but none of them raised a laugh. I have no real idea what the 'Daytona mating call' is or who the 'Olson twins' are. I do know who Sonny and Cher are but my daughter won't have a clue!' Colour, 64 pages.
