Penguins

Though penguins cannot fly like most other birds, they are experts at "flying" underwater, reaching depths of 1,500 feet and staying under water for as long as 18 minutes. These fascinating animals are explored with easy-to-read text and great photos.

This book is packed with fun facts and even includes an index and a list of internet sites that kids can use to find more penguin-related information.
