About the Book

Growing up as a Humboldt penguin is a formal affair. The soft gray feather suits the penguins are born with give way to beautiful black and white tuxedoes. Through watchful eyes, baby Humboldts learn the proper way to hunt and swim from their parents.

Children will enjoy following these penguins from the time their babies hatch until it's time for all the kids to go off on their own. Humboldt Tails will introduce beginning readers to chapter books, and it contains beautiful artwork to help children follow along with the Humboldt penguin family.

Proceeds from this exciting children's book will benefit Humboldt penguin conservation efforts supported by the Penguin Taxon Advisory Group. For more information about the Penguin Taxon Advisory Group, visit http://www.penguintag.org.
