A reference to one of the most beloved birds in the world. A charming and well-designed edition about the most loved bird, written by Peter Fretwell, a leading scientist of the British Antarctic Survey, and illustrated by Lisa Fretwell.

There is something about penguins that makes them irresistible. Whether it is their humorous walk, their black and white "journey," or their apparent happiness amid harsh weather conditions, their global dedication is undeniable.

In The Penguin Book, Peter Fretwell introduces us to eighteen charming species of penguins and their fascinating lives: their evolution, behaviors, habitats, and their history with humans. From the fact that emperor penguins dive twice as deep as any other bird, to the story of a royal penguin named Sir Nils Olav III who was promoted to Brigadier by the Norwegian Army, we discover through exciting personal experiences (including funny and emoji penguins!) why penguins matter so much to all of us.
