I really liked this book because of the illustrations and content of the book. The illustrations in this book were colorful and enjoyable too look at. They added interest to the poems and made it easy to understand. The book was a series of poems that talked about the life of a penguin in Antarctica. Even though the poems were written from the point of view of the penguin it was informative because it told the whole life of a penguin from when it is born, the types of predators it has, and how they find mates. For example, “What’s black and white and mean all over? A mighty swimmer, a restless rover. He looks like a fish from head to tail. But he isn’t a fish, he’s a killer whale!” This book is a fun way to students to get the show more information they need on penguins. The big idea of this book was to inform students about penguins in a fun way. show less
