From Booklist Gr. Beginning, "This is Antarctica, the harshest place in the world to live," the text goes on to explain in simple terms what was narrated so effectively by Morgan Freeman in the movie: the life cycle of the emperor penguin. The photos, which appear to be stills from the movie, are more interesting than stunning, but with the easy-to-read text, this should find a welcoming audience. An early, effective spread shows an impossibly long line of penguins marching from the sea to their inland home, where they will mate. The father's care, including keeping a meal for the babies in his throat (even though he hasn't eaten for 100 days), will strike readers as remarkable. Most of the book focuses on the egg the mother hatches and then must leave with the father as she makes her way back to the water for sustenance. All rights reserved.

Henderson The facts about the relationship of the parents to one another was informative. The extreme weather and distance all the pinquins endured to have a chance of hatching just one egg was awasome. I was so wrapped up in the story and all of a sudden I stopped and thought how on the world did the photo journalist stand the extream weather to record enough footage to make the movie.. Been there and seen them first hand Amazing filming! Amazon Customer I worked in Antarctica for some years. I saw both the Emperors and the Adele penguins. I closed the Adele penguin camp 3 years in a row which was just on the edge of where the Emperors start their march to spend winter. They are amazing birds and very curious of us humans. This film was a reminder of the harshness as well as the beauty of the continent.
