With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to a variety of penguins, from the Ad lie to the Rockhopper to the Emperor. An afterword provides more details.

About Penguins is part of the award-winning About... series. Ideal for casual exploration as well as for early childhood and elementary science units on animals.
