Seen through the eyes of the baby chicks, the lively verses of this comically illustrated book are based on the real lives and habits of emperor penguins. The amusing illustrations and poems of the chicks as they burst from their shells, hang on to dad's feet as he walks, search for the sounds of their moms and then learn to swim and to survive against predators will delight readers of all ages.

Poems include: A Hatchling's Song, Mother Penguin's Vacation, My Father's Feet, Regurgitate, I Am Looking For My Mother, Penguins' First Swim, Predator Riddles, Diary of a Very Short Winter Day, Belly Sliding, Be My Penguin, and, Antarctic Anthem.
