'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.

"Explore the incredible ways evolution works, from the beginnings
of life 3.5 billion years ago to the walking, talking super-apes
better known as human beings. Amazing Evolution is filled with
fascinating facts!" - The Week Junior Evolution can be a difficult
idea to wrap our brains around: it deals with random, unlikely
events, combined with vast lengths of time too enormous to
comprehend. But the evidence is all around us - in the fossils of
long-dead creatures, and in our genes and the relationships between
all living beings. Amazing Evolution shines a light on this
incredible process, from the beginnings of life around 3.8 billion
years ago, to the millions of different species alive today,
including the moon-walking, talking apes with super-powerful brains
- human beings! Filled with clear explanations, beautiful
illustrations and fascinating facts about the planet's strangest
and most spectacular creatures, Amazing Evolution will keep
children (and adults, too!) enthralled for hours. Delve into the
pages and learn what makes a fish a fish, why giraffes have such
long necks and how all living things, from cabbages to tigers, are
related! Amazing Evolution is the perfect first book about
evolution for young readers.
