This was a very boring book not trying to be mean. It was a little interesting because it talked about penguins. It was about a girl who wrote about penguins and studied them when she saw them.

This book was
very interesting. It is about an author Sophie
Webb who goes to Antarctica to study
penguins. It is very unusual for an
author who lives in California to go
to
Cape Royds Antarctica
because it is one of the coldest
places on earth. She is with some other scientists.
They stay for two months at Cape Royds
Antarctica. Their names are Grant,
David and Sacha.
They wear at least six layers
of clothing so they will be able to
go out in the cold icy snow.
Penguins can communicate with each other
by howling. The way
the mother penguin
feeds her baby is by throwing up
in the baby's mouth. You should read
this book . You would really like it!
