Penguins sliding on their tummies and swimming in the sea! Penguins cuddling for warmth and hiding in the shade! A wide variety of these irresistibly charming animals from climates warm and cold dance across the pages of Penguins, Penguins, Everywhere! Award-winning author and artist Bob Barner combines colorful collage images and whimsical verse to make this a funny, bouncy, informative introduction to the world of penguins. The simple text makes this book perfect for the youngest readers, but the array of penguin facts including the "Penguin Parade" with information on all 17 penguin species makes it an ideal choice for older readers as well.
作者简介 Bob Barner works with pen, ink, watercolor, and a computer. When he's not working on books, he likes to present his work to schools and libraries around the world. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

PreSchool-Grade 1—Colorful collages depict plump penguins performing a plethora of penguiny pastimes—tobogganing into the ocean, cuddling for warmth, honking to attract a mate. Barner's simple rhyming text presents a variety of the birds—those that delight in Antarctic cold and others that bask in Galapagos sunshine, some that lay eggs in burrows, and others that nestle their eggs on the tops of their leathery feet. Some facts fill the facing pages (such as "What do penguins eat?" accompanied by cut-outs of squid, fish, and krill), and a final spread proffers a parade of all 17 species, including data on global location, size, and weight. This effervescent effort will be just the thing for youngsters not yet ready for Gail Gibbons's informative Penguins! (Holiday House) or the more sophisticated rhymes of Judy Sierra's Antarctic Antics: A Book of Penguin Poems (Harcourt, both 1998).—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY

On the heels of popular penguin films like Happy Feet comes this book with its simple rhyming text and bold, bright, cut-and-torn paper illustrations that will delight young penguin aficionados while highlighting general penguin information. Each spread's descriptive sentence is conveyed in whimsical artwork that features vibrant hues and textured shapes to depict subtly diverse penguin groups, both chicks and adults. They "waddle and toboggan to the sea," swim, and frolic among other sea creatures, like fish and "sneaky seals." In a more softly rendered scene, "Daddies warm fragile eggs with tender, special care." Slightly older readers will appreciate the appended "Penguin Puzzler," a playfully arranged, Q&A-style collection of facts, including what penguins eat (and who eats penguins) as well as a "Penguin Parade" of the 17 species, with their habitats and size.
