By Storms, Patricia
The Pirate and the Penguin is a droll modern take on Mark Twain’s classic children's tale The Prince and the Pauper. Penguin has had it with the South Pole. He’s bored with the ice, bored with the fish, and bored with the communal escapades of his feathered fraternity. A free spirit, Penguin longs for adventure. Pirate, on the other hand, wants no part in raucous, adventurous ways. Treasure? Conquest? Exploration? Bah. He longs for a simple life, free from the endless travel. When these two misfits meet, they discover the solution to all their problems. Patricia Storms’ gift for characterization and keen eye for detail results in a book that is both a delightful adventure and an appealing parable about finding contentment.

Penguins
By Jango-cohen, Judith
Grade 3-5-These fact-filled books will delight readers. Jango-Cohen covers the featured animals' discovery, how they were given their scientific name, their habitat, food consumption, mating, variety of species, and survival in nature. Both good and bad human interactions are explained in the last chapters. Helpful glossaries and sources of additional information through books, videos, and Web sites are included. Large, captioned color photos are eye-catching and depict the species in their natural habitats. The map in Penguins is potentially confusing since it's drawn from the vantage point of the South Pole and only shows the lower segments of South America, Africa, and Australia. Nonetheless, these colorful titles will be a hit with animal lovers and report writers.

By Jango-cohen, Judith
Grade 3-5-These fact-filled books will delight readers.

Both good and bad human interactions are explained in the last chapters. Helpful glossaries and sources of additional information through books, videos, and Web sites are included. Large, captioned color photos are eye-catching and depict the species in their natural habitats.
