With beautiful photographs and fascinating information, this fact-packed read introduces young children to an emperor penguin father and his family. In this fun twist on the topic of animal lives and life cycles, young readers will discover how a father penguin incubates his mate’s egg. Standing on ice and snow, blasted by freezing, Antarctic winds, and having no food to eat for months, he patiently waits for his precious chick to hatch. When the great day arrives, the father penguin is ready to keep his tiny baby warm and safe from greedy, predatory seabirds.
