Critics Review

“The illustrations alone warrant this handsome new edition of Johnston and Weisgard’s satisfying deep dive into the world of emperor penguins, first published in 1962. Weisgard’s dappled print technique wonderfully evokes a snowy Antarctic clime, and his penguins are, true to their name, majestic. Johnston, too, found nobility in the crazy-seeming passing back and forth of eggs between parents and the ‘miracle’ of yearlings who come back home wearing a new, golden patch of feathers.”– “New York Times” (4/25/2016 12:00:00 AM)
