Penguins live in some of the coldest places on earth. But you can also find penguins on sunny beaches and on blue seas.
There are nearly twenty different kinds of penguins. Penguins might come in different sizes. Penguins are a kind of bird. Most birds can fly. Their wings are too small for flying. And their bodies are too small for fling. And their bodies are too heavy to get off the ground.
Underwater, hungry penguins hunt for food. They dart after fish, and sea creatures called krill. A penguin snaps up some krill in its sharp, pointy beak. He swallows it whole, in one big GULP!
Once a year, penguins leave the sea. They travel across land to the place where they were born. Penguins can't walk fast. They waddle along on their webbed feet. When they arrive, the penguins gather in huge groups called rookeries. These stretch as far as the eye can see. Rookeries are very noisy places.
They all get into penguin pairs. Then the female penguin lays eggs. Eggs must be kept warm, so the chicks inside can grow. The penguin chick is ready to come out. It pecks and pecks until the top of the egg comes off. At first, penguin chicks only have fluffy feathers. They can't swim or feed themselves. Penguin parents go to sea to find food. The chicks can't eat whole food yet. So penguin parents swallow down their food, then bring it back up as a thick paste and feed it to their chicks. Then the chicks waddle to the sea for the first time. They chase fish and catch some in their sharp beaks. They're ready to take care of themselves. For the next few years, the young penguins live far out at sea. There, they get into pairs and have a chick of their own.
My favorite line in the book is when says, "There, they get into pairs and have a chick of their own." (Bronte. 2009, p. 42 it reminds me how strongly our thoughts influence our bodies.
I could know about penguin by in this book. The most surprising bit of information about how to grow chick from "eggs, the chick climbs out, go to the sea, and catch the food." (2009, p.27)
