The Emperor Lays an Egg

32 pp. | Holt | December, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6204-1 $$16.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Joan Paley. Guiberson packs a great deal of information into this well-paced story of emperor penguins and their young, focusing on the remarkable ways in which the penguins tend their eggs through the harsh Antarctic winters. The hand-painted paper collages imagine Antarctica in rather broad strokes. This is an attractive choice for story hour if not a primary resource on the science shelf.
