Life in the Southern Hemisphere is bitterly cold for most penguins, but they don't seem to mind. Most penguins live in large colonies on the coast of Antarctica or on nearby islands. Readers explore penguin colonies for themselves, learning fun facts about these beautiful birds with the help of accessible text. Readers learn how penguin families work together to feed their young and keep them warm. A helpful graphic organizer aids in reader understanding. Readers will enjoy detailed images of penguin species at home in the Antarctic with every turn of the page.

From the candiru to the lionfish, there are so many kinds of fish on Earth. While all have different methods of production, the basic life cycle is the same, from egg to spawning swimmers. Readers are introduced to this general cycle as well as the important vocabulary needed to talk about it, such as “fry” and “spawning.” Accessible language and simple diagrams throughout the book provide a way for struggling readers to tackle science curriculum content.

Hurricanes plague the tropics from June through November. Some years bring just a handful of storms. Other years, meteorologists run out of names because there are so many. In this Spanish title, readers learn how and where these storms form and the dangers they pose to the land and people who live in Gulf and Atlantic coast regions.

Este libro está repleto de dragones, algunos de ellos muy fieros y hambrientos capaces de comerse un ejercito de hipopótamos. Otros, sin embargo, necesitados de amor y muy tiernos, aunque algo estrafalarios que solo esperan un gesto de cariño. También, vas a encontrar, niños y niñas aventureros y muy curiosos capaces de convertirse en intrépidos viajeros al polo norte en busca de dragones helados. Las princesas y príncipes de estos cuentos, que también hay, no son nada ñoños y cursis, ya verás. Y hasta vas a encontrar un san Jorge, algo adormilado y con pocas ganas de batallar.
