An award-winning picture book about the Emperor penguin's
parenting. The Emperor penguin is the only large animal to remain
on the Antarctic mainland throughout its bitterly inhospitable
winter. Once the female has laid her egg, she heads back to the
sea, leaving the male to incubate it. He then spends two months
standing on the freezing cold ice with the egg on his feet! This is
his story.
Set your spirit of adventure free with this journey to the world's
great oceans, discovering the diversity of life that exists in the
deep blue sea. Whether you're travelling long haul with leatherback
turtles across the Pacific, snoozing with sea otters or ice bathing
with a walrus, this book celebrates the very prescient topic of the
world's oceans with LucyLetherland's animal characters. Each
section begins with an infographic map of the ocean it explores -
Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and Arctic - followed by richly
detailed two-page spreads exploring its depths and the denizens
within, as well as seabirds, coral reefs and shoreline critters.
Discover saltwater crocodiles lurking in the Andaman Islands,
hammerheads gathering in the Atlantic, and the awe-inspiring
colossal squid that calls the Ross Sea home. Lucy Letherland's
illuminating artwork shows how these oceans teem with life, forming
part of complex and fascinating ecosystems, all in a quirky,
characterful style. Interesting facts and figures pepper the
scenes. Did you know that spinner dolphins can swim up to 400
kilometres a day? Or that some sea snails can grow up to half a
metre long? Or that in the deepest depths, fish can glow in the
dark? A natural history lesson in an adventure book, each spread
features 10 captions and and facts about every destination. The 5th
title in the best-selling Atlas of Adventures series that has now
been translated into 31 languages. A 'Can you find?' page at the
back challenges you to explore the pages even deeper by locating
the pictured scenes and scene-stealers. Children and adults alike
will be amazed by the incredible creatures that await in the
world's oceans.
