Summary
A fuzzy penguin chick raises its beak. Its parent has brought fish. Time to eat! With plenty of food, this tiny bird will grow up fast. This low-level title introduces beginning readers to the lives of penguins, from when they hatch to when they lay eggs of their own. Leveled text and vivid photos explore each phase of a penguin's life. Special features highlight the animal's diet and size. At the end of the book, a full-page life cycle feature shows off each of the penguin's life stages!

Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "The Animal Life Cycles series (6 titles) takes a commonly studied elementary science concept and makes it attractive with high-quality color photos of animals in their natural environments. The large photos work alongside short, straightforward text to describe each stage of an animal's development. Each volume opens with a quick introduction to the type of animal and its habitat, and includes several vibrant charts that depict a visual summary of the life cycle, as well as the animal's duration, size, and diet in each stage. Penguin explains these birds' eating habits as chicks and development into skilled fishers, as well as the molting of their down as they grow waterproof feathers. A glossary and list of resources conclude this solid, eye-catching series for beginning readers."
