**STARRED REVIEW** "Perfect for group storytime and discussion. . .The familiar black and white of emperor penguins contrast well with the scenes of rich winter blues of Antarctic ice, sea, and sky and, later, the warm pastels of the spring skies as time passes, the temperatures warm, and the penguin family unit basks in their success?." — Kirkus Reviews
