A field guide to life on Antarctic ice

This illustrated introduction ranges from emperor penguins’ annual journeys to the science of how they swim and how their chicks keep warm in Antarctic conditions. It also brings in a striking research detail—scientists have spotted penguin droppings from space—and connects the species’ lives to conservation challenges involving climate change and melting sea ice. The combination of animal facts and accessible science gives the book several angles on one species, from its physical adaptations to the questions researchers investigate.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in penguins and Antarctic wildlife.
  • Young readers starting to explore animal science and field guides.
  • Families seeking an introduction to wildlife conservation and climate-related challenges.

Book overview

"Up close and personal with the world's largest penguin... Informative and winning." -- Kirkus

Take to the Antarctic ice to study emperor penguins in this beautiful nonfiction field guide for kids.

You might know that emperor penguins are the largest penguin species, but there's so much more to learn about this flightless bird. Turn the pages to discover what makes them undertake epic journeys every year, and how scientists have spotted their poop from space! Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also explains what makes emperor penguins such great ocean swimmers, and how their cute chicks manage to stay warm in freezing Antarctic conditions. It also looks at the conservation challenges these iconic animals face due to climate change and melting sea ice.

Written by penguin professor Dr. Michelle LaRue and featuring stunning illustrations by Pham Quang Phuc, Emperor Penguin (Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting new series of animal books from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and conservationists.
