What a beautiful book packed with stunning photography giving an overview of all things penguin. This book brings home the variety of penguin species that there are. When thinking of penguins its often the emperor huddled in the Antarctic winter that comes to mind but this book shows both the number of species and also the range of environments in which they live, including one species that just nudges into the northern hemisphere. Normally when reviewing a book I try to avoid repeating things but it is important to emphasise the stunning photography, I loved the fact that there were familiar subjects in typical poses but many of the images were very different in their approach whether it be showing a different aspect of the birds or using a lighting effect to raise the picture. A wide range of behaviours is shown giving an insight to their lives, alongside the photographs there are informative captions. This is just the sort of book any wildlife lover will want to p.p.p.pick up and enjoy!

A collection of stunning images that expertly highlights the beauty and wonder of one of the most charming animals on the planet. From the stark majestic landscapes of Antarctica to the warmer climates of South Africa, these incredible animals will appeal to every reader. The details in the photographs are sublime, showing the true characters of my favourite animals. I received a copy from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for a review.
