Penguins! (Step into Reading)

For the longest time I wasn't sure about penguins. I always felt that they had something to do with the cause of the Falklands War. Boy was I ever mistaken! According to Salomon, penguins are merely majestic creatures attempting to continue age old survival traditions in the harsh landscape of the Antarctic. They have colonies just like the conquistadors of Spanish old. I was not aware they were that politically advanced, how cool?! The krill were a thrill. I can tell Salomon is not lying nor exaggerating as he provides an array of magnificent photographs as primary source evidence. This book is a wonderful weekend read for those looking for something less heavy than Agatha Christie or a John Green novel. Very informative and highly recommended!

I bought Penguins! for my friend's five year old twins. I had read other reviews that mentioned the extremely high quality of the photos. I have to agree--the photography and detail really stand out, and make this one of the highest quality children's books I've bought.This has quickly become the twins favorite bedtime reading book. The book's story is very engaging and the reading level is perfect for them.And the price is reasonable too! Especially for the quality.

David Salomon’s “Penguins!” was a delight to read. It is the perfect start for young readers interested in learning more about the life of penguins. The book follows a family of chinstrap penguins and the conditions they face while in persuit of raising strong chicks. It is brimming with adorable penguin photos in their natural environment. Through Solomon’s book you are given insight into the wildly beautiful mysterious world of Antarctica. I highly recommend it!

As an uncle with two young nephews, this was the perfect gift. The beautiful pictures tell the story of penguins raising a family. This book is highly educational and entertaining. Normally children’s books tell stories through the use of illustrations, however this book uses vivid pictures that conveys the adventures and rewards of parenthood. I highly recommend this book. My nephews are not satisfied until I read it to them twice in one sitting:)

Easy for 6 years old kid to read.

David Salomon’s Penguins is a unique book.They say that one picture is worth a thousand words. Salomon’s photos are worth much more than that. The pictures are so vivid that they expose the penguins’ feelings.I cannot imagine a better first science book than Penguins. It is sure to attract your young readers and lure them to learn more about this very special animal.

"Are penguins fish? No! They are birds!"My favorite photo in this book shows penguins diving into cold glossy water. This book contains many other great original shots trained on a colony of chinstrap penguins. The images are perfect to pique the interest of young reader and hopefully set them on a lifelong journey of scientific exploration.

Beautiful book at a great price! Love the photos of the penguins and how friendly the text is to young readers. It is incredibly enjoyable to read about penguins raising their young. I think this book also makes a great gift.I highly recommend this book :)
