"How Do Penguins Care for Their Young?" "When Do Rookeries Form?" The texts are concise and informative, the explanations are easy to understand, and fact boxes supply more information. Especially noteworthy are the color photographs, which are not simply generic shots of the subject; they have been carefully chosen to illustrate very specific behaviors described in the text.
