This non-fiction picture book is chock-full of information about penguins' living arrangements, predators, eating habits, and more, though visually, with its overwhelming panels and collaged photographs, it reminds me of the bold educational posters hung in my 1990s elementary classroom.

A good study of penguins for children 6 and up.

“Eyes on Nature: Penguins” is a very informative non-fiction book exploring life of penguins. The book resembles a magazine, thus it is rather easy to read due to the fact that on each page there are round and square panels containing real photographs of different species of penguins. What is worth mentioning is the fact that the book is divided into chapters, such as “So different” or “The mating game”, which serves not only as an organizational device, but also as an informative one. Apart from the photos, the information about penguins is presented through captions, which are bold-faced in order to make a distinction between the actual text. I enjoyed the free endpapers where a great multitude of penguins is depicted, because the pages introduce, as well as summarize the content of the book well.

This is a fun book of facts about penguins. It is packed full of information, so we only read a couple of pages at a time. Several diferent species were highlighted and their similarities, differences and the things that make penguins special were emphasized. This book has lots of photos, showing how incredibly cute these birds are.

How can you not love Eyes on Nature books with all their vivid pictures and fun facts. It's harder to read them as a book, but if you have a specific question in mind they are great.

Great pictures and great blurbs. It points of differences between the different types of penguins. And there are quite a few more than I had been aware of!

This book tells about all of the different kinds of breeds of penguins. It tells students where the penguins live, what they eat, and how they take care of their young. I think students would enjoy learning about penguins through this book.
