PENGUIN BOOK OF PENGUINS (HB)

Leading British Antarctic scientist Peter Fretwell introduces us to eighteen charismatic species of penguin: their evolution, behaviour and 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 king penguin called Sir Nils Olav III who was made a Major General by the Norwegian Army, we discover through fascinating first-hand encounters (and even penguin jokes and emojis) why penguins matter so greatly to all of us.
