Customer Reviews

"Penguin ( See how they grow)
This experience was disappointing The book is "OK..." but not much more than a comic book, some photos were 'vague' and it cost, $3.95. This in itself I could accept, but shipping was another $7.95 !

I AM new to Amazon... maybe I did something wrong?

False information on hatching
I was at first glance very impressed and about to order this book due to the photos. However, the "inside pages" tells something to the effect of "my mommy just laid me and will take care of me until I hatch." This is incorrect information, especially in relation to Emperor Penguins. The daddy is who "as soon as the egg is laid the scoops it up from the female. He places it on top of his feet and covers it with a thick warm fold of belly skin, which is rich is richly endowed with blood vessels."

My kindergarten students love to learn about penguins and normally I really like the DK books for their realism. However this is one book I won't purchase now due to false information.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
This is a nice little book, however, the cover is misleading. My daughter's favorite penguins are Emperor penguins, as shown on the cover, which is why I bought this book. Unfortunately the penguins we watch grow on the inside of the book are King penguins, which aren't nearly as cute as babies as Emperors are.
