Penguin Chick

An emperor penguin lays an egg on the Antarctic ice. In the bitter cold, miles away from the only source of food, how can the chick survive? A father penguin keeps his mate's egg warm by balancing it on his feet for two entire months. Learn how penguin parents take care of their babies in one of Earth's coldest, most desolate environments. This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 5 to 7. It's a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.
