The World of Penguins

From the icy coasts of Antarctica to the cooler currents of South America, Africa, and Australia, The World of Penguins by Evelyne Daigle introduces readers to all seventeen penguin species. Written by a biologist and wildlife educator, it blends vivid observations with scientific insight to show how these flightless birds thrive in environments ranging from rocky shores to bustling colonies. Each chapter explores the penguins' daily challenges such as finding food, nurturing chicks, and surviving predators while also addressing the broader threats posed by climate change and human activity. The clear, accessible prose makes the complex ecology of penguins understandable for middle-grade readers, offering both facts and a sense of wonder.
