Book Description
Describes the daily activities and dangers shared by the penguins and other animal inhabitants of Antarctica.
Publisher's Weekly
Dramatic illustrations deftly blend light and shadow as they depict the rigorous--and threatened--existence of ``emperor penguins, Weddell seals and Adelie penguins'' on the frozen continent.
School Library Journal
In story form, Cowcher attempts to describe life for emperor and Adelie penguins and Weddell seals during one Antarctic winter and spring as they nest, give birth, and raise their young. Harsh weather makes survival difficult, but the true enemy may be the men who have a base camp near the Adelies' nesting area; their helicopter frightens the penguins away, allowing the predatory skuas access to their eggs. A few instances of anthropomorphism are unfortunate and glaringly intrusive: an emperor penguin is described as huddling with ``his friends,'' and the story closes with the seals and penguins wondering whether ``. . . the new arrivals . . . will share or destroy their beautiful Antarctica . . .'' Some of the watercolor illustrations are too cute--baby emperor penguins and Weddell seals have the round-faced quality of the worst greeting-card art. Others are misleading--``a ferocious leopard seal,'' enemy to the penguins, appears to be a gentle, smiling creature, and a drawing of the emperor penguins trudging back to their rookery looks like the penguins are walking on water, with huge waves behind them. Since little is available on this level that deals directly with the problems facing Antarctica, most libraries will want to add this to their collections; its didactic but important message outweighs its faults.
Growing Point
Penguins take up human poses only too easily but the sly comedy in the movements and postures of Emperors and Adelies is never allowed to override the authenticity of the birds. . . . The superb pictures, with stunning closeups of birds and mammals in colours glowing against the blue and green of ice and water, hold the eye while the mind takes in the crucial conservation message.
