They are bored of living in their castle and swimming in their 17 swimming pools. To amuse themselves, they pull pranks on their great-great grandchildren, but when caught, their punishment is getting locked in a tower of stuff.

Children love Emperor penguins, because they're cute and funny. In PENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO!, children will discover how these waddling birds--that "never, ever fly"--are amazingly adapted to living in Earth's most extreme environment. The book transports children to the frozen continent of Antarctica, where Emperor penguins not only waddle, but sled on their bellies across the ice, dive deep in the ocean, trek over long distances, huddle against snowy blizzards, and even make bubbles with their feathers, to survive and raise their fluffy chicks.Rhyming verses full of penguin surprises and movement, and expanded STEM-rich backmatter, let readers and soon-to-be-readers explore Emperors' wild, wintry world. You-are-there photos, by scientists and photographers on the Antarctic sea ice and in the polar ocean (some photos never published for children before), capture all kinds of penguin motion: leaping out of the ocean after diving for food, checking on an egg carried on a parent penguin's feet, running with a scientist on the ice, and more.PENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO! spotlights how scientists are discovering the penguins' secrets, like how Emperors use underwater bubble streams to speed through the ocean and launch themselves up, out, and back onto the ice. Scientists have also found how Emperor penguins use a kind of teamwork by constantly shuffling, step by step, through their huddle so all the penguins get a turn in the warm center.In the book, children can learn how climate change is melting sea ice, now making Emperor penguins a threatened species, and how people around the world can help protect and conserve these much-loved birds.
