Reviews:

This follow-up to the author's One Day on Our Blue Planet…in the Savannah introduces young readers to animals and their habitat. Representational drawings, visual unity, and winter hues fill each page with frozen settings of pinks, blues, grays, and whites. Each spread describes the natural life of this region through the waddling adventures of an Adélie penguin chick. The informative narrative pairs simple sentences with a bounty of authentic illustrations, introducing the penguin's journey from her young beginnings through the moment she sets out on her own into the Antarctic ocean. "She cannot fly, but in the water she is as swift and as graceful as any bird in the sky…. She travels many, many miles each day in search of food…and deep under the ice where a colorful world lies hidden
