Penguins! by David Salomon - OPTIONAL

Salomon, David  Penguins!  EARLY READER  Random House, 2017.  $4.99  Content: G.  9781524715618

Chinstrap penguins go to Antarctica to lay their eggs.  They mate for life and share in the responsibility of watching over the eggs, feeding their young and returning back every year to the same spot to hatch other eggs.  This book shows how they care for their young, what they eat and other interesting facts.  

This is a simple nonfiction book about penguins.  There are between 2-3 sentences per page, simple vocabulary and lots of pictures making it a good read aloud.  The pictures are kind of grainy but this is a good introduction to penguins for beginning readers.  

EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
