Gr 1-3-Readers follow a colony of king penguin chicks on the island of South Georgia from their dependence on their parents for food to their ability to fend for themselves at sea. Significant milestones in their growth and relationships with their parents and their colony are vibrantly detailed in both text and in the sharp, clear, full-color photos that bring readers into each scene. Though Gail Gibbons's Penguins! (1998) is appropriate for younger children and Dorothy Patent's Looking at Penguins (1993, both Holiday) is for older readers, they both describe a variety of penguins. Baby Penguin is uniquely useful and valuable because of its excellence and its focus on one species.-Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
