My Season with Penguins, An Antarctic Journal

My Season with Penguins, An Antarctic Journal

by Sophie Webb

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 2000
  • HARD COVER
  • 48 PAGES
  • MIDDLE READERS (Age 9-12)

Writer and illustrator Sophie Webb has always loved drawing penguins, but nothing could have prepared her for adventures with them in Antarctica. Webb documents her two-month stay at Cape Royds on Ross Island, site of a long-term study of Adelie penguins. Her detailed journal entries are complemented by watercolor illustrations that will appeal to the intended 9-12 year-old audience. The book is a good overview of behavior (of penguins and scientists).  (ANT135, $15.00)
