My Season with Penguins: An Antarctic Journal

Sophie has written a brilliant book for children and adults to learn about the amazing Adelie Penguins of Antarctica. Her illustrations and story are very well done and it will start a long love affair with the southern continent for you and your child, encouraging you to learn more about the Antarctic.

Sophie Webb has applied her wonderful drawings to a travel log of her trip to the Cape Royds penguin colony on Ross Island, Antactica. Her drawings of the penguins in all their various activities are wonderfully accurate and delightful. She also recounts her experiences traveling to Antactica in a way that makes it very real -- I should know, I was there with her! The book is very well suited to kids as well as adults. However, note that she is quite truthful about some of the various fates that can await less fortunate penguins! Sophie has done a great job with this book.
