A Penguin's World (Caroline Arnold's Animals)
PreS-Gr. 2. The Caroline Arnold's Animals series features striking paper collages, clear text, and a picture-book format. This title follows an Adelie penguin family from scenes in which the parents build a nest and warm their eggs to final pages showcasing the four-month-old, newly independent chicks. The simple, well-paced text weaves basic concepts into the captivating narrative, and the artwork's strong colors and bold, uncluttered compositions capture the expression and movement of the birds, making this an excellent choice for sharing with groups. Small insets offer a few more facts. A map of Antarctica and a page of information close this title, which children will enjoy both in the classroom and as an at-home read-aloud.Gillian EngbergCopyright © American Library Association.
