'All over the snow plain the penguins begin to sing. The eggs are
beginning to arrive.' This is the story of the emperor penguins
that live far away on the edge of a secret sea. During summer they
are content with fishing, swimming and playing in the icy waters.
But when the season changes, they must travel to the snowy lands
around the South Pole. How will they and the newly hatched penguin
chicks survive the icy winter? This is a delightful introduction to
the natural world of the penguin, told in narrative form with
beautiful, timeless illustrations.
Lonely Planet Kids' How Animals Build is a beautifully illustrated
lift-the-flap hardback that explores the incredible world of animal
architects. Children can open flaps and unfold spreads to discover
amazing animal homes up high, underground, on land, and under the
sea. From spider webs and rabbit warrens, to bird nests and ant
colonies, and even coral reefs and beaver lodges, we reveal the
secrets to these extraordinary structures and how they're built. Do
bees need cement mixers to build hives? Do beavers use cranes to
construct dams? No, of course not! Like many animals, they're
building geniuses who don't need building site tools to create
incredible work. Welcome to nature's very own, super-clever world
of construction. Created in consultation with Michael Leach,
wildlife expert, speaker, photographer, filmographer, and author of
over 20 books on subjects ranging from big cats and owls to great
apes and bears. Themed topics include: Apartment Block with
