Penguins

Dear class,

The book that i am reading is called Penguins, it is a non-fiction story.This book tells me about what penguins eat, what they do, and how they are endangered .This book can tell you a lot about the most famous penguin.This book can also tell you about how they wash up. And how much they weigh.

I had a few questions while i was reading this book , one of my question was why do penguins spend half of their life on land then in the ocean? My other question was do penguins only eat fish?

This book remind me of the movie "Happy Feet."
Like how they eat fish and all the different type of penguins. The weirdest penguin is called the Sothern Rockhopper penguin. Yhe Sothern Rockhopper is the penguin with red eyes. It is not any different it is just like the rest of oter penguins.

sincerely
SW

Hey SW!

Excellent job with giving us a brief summary and then explaining your thoughts. Penguins are one of my favorite animals! I am fascinated by the Emperor penguins and the way that they care for and raise their young. The relationships seem so intricate and I really like the way that they all work together to survive the coldest winter months.

Some questions to follow up on for this post:
1)Why do you think that the Southern Rockhopper penguin is weird?
2)What do you think the impact on the environment would be if penguins went extinct?
3) How do you feel about the fact that they are on the endangered list?
4) Why did the book remind you of "Happy Feet"?

Happy Reading!
