About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to spark a sense of wonder about the natural world while sharing a laugh with your child. It is the perfect choice for a bedtime wind-down or a rainy afternoon when your child is curious about animals but has a high energy for silliness and rhythm. Antarctic Antics is a charming collection of thirteen poems and riddles that explore the daily lives of penguins. Through clever verse, it touches on themes of family love, such as a father penguin protecting an egg, and the resilience needed to survive in the cold. It is perfectly pitched for children aged 4 to 8, offering a blend of factual information and comical illustrations that make science feel like a grand, icy party. Parents will appreciate how it builds vocabulary and introduces poetic forms through a subject kids already find fascinating.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and lighthearted. It briefly touches on the food chain (penguins eating fish and being wary of seals), but the approach is factual and gentle rather than scary or graphic.
