Synopsis:
A touching look at the world of penguins engagingly describes and illustrates the devotion of the male Emperor penguin to caring for his mate's egg, as he guards it for months while his mate hunts for fish.
About the Author:
Martin Jenkins hates cold weather and so has boundless admiration for Emperor penguin dads. While not a father himself—although an uncle and a godfather many times over—Martin Jenkins is a conservation biologist with The World Wildlife Fund and other environmental agencies.
Jane Chapman says she has wanted to paint pictures of penguins ever since her honeymoon when she visited a Scottish zoo and saw penguins waddling along on parade.
