Zoobooks are Great

Every one of the zoobooks is a great book. It has a lot of information about one specific animal. In this case it is penguins. There are drawings, science activities you can attempt, and pictures. The drawings are usually of some detailed part of the animal for example it might be the bird's beak and it is used to illustrate a key concept about what makes a penguin unique. The science activities are also used to illustrate a point, in this case you can learn first hand how penguins stay warm in the cold waters. These are educational and clearly written. They have appeal to a wide range of ages due to the ages it is written towards. It will interest parents and young children. Enjoy.
