Take to the Antarctic ice to study emperor penguins in this
beautiful non-fiction field guide for kids. You might know that
emperor penguins are the largest penguin species, but there's so
much more to learn about this flightless bird. Turn the pages to
discover what makes them undertake epic journeys every year, and
how scientists have spotted their poo from space! Filled with
simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also explains
what makes emperor penguins such great ocean swimmers, and how
their cute chicks manage to stay warm in freezing Antarctic
conditions. It also looks at the conservation challenges these
iconic animals face due to climate change and melting sea ice.
Written by penguin professor Dr Michelle LaRue and featuring
stunning illustrations by Pham Quang Phuc, Emperor Penguin (Young
Zoologist) is part of an exciting new series of animal books from
Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and
conservationists. Also available: Humpback Whale, Giant Panda,
African Elephant

This book is a compilation of bird stories written by our mother,
Martha Ramseur Gillham. They were first published in the Arkansas
Wildlife Federation newspaper Arkansas Out-of-Doors from 1972 until
1985. She was a longtime member of the federation which was
instrumental in passing Amendment 35 to the Arkansas constitution
which established the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as an
independent body. All the illustrations were drawn by another
member and close friend, Joe Gray, a commercial and wildlife
artist, and political cartoonist in Dardanelle Arkansas. The book
has been assembled and published at the insistence and funding of
our father Ralph Gillham. All proceeds from sales will go to the
Yell County Wildlife Federation. Lucien and Richard Gillham, Joanna
Gray Lange and Bob Gray
