Penguins take the term “babysitting” literally. Father penguins will cradle eggs on top of their feet and under their warm stomachs while the mothers go off to feed! Readers will see how hard penguin parents work to protect their babies in this unique text full of lively illustrations. A first-person narration from the baby chick’s perspective creates a fun structure for readers to learn about life cycles, habitats, and other key science curriculum topics. An extensive “Did You Know?” section will fascinate readers with cool facts about this high-interest subject, and an engaging quiz lets them test out their reading comprehension skills.
