My Season with Penguins: An Antarctic Journal by Sophie Webb

A journal describing the author's two month stay on Antarctica participating in a scientific study project of the Adelie Penguins. She provides day to day details, descriptive prose of the penguins and scientific explanations of the study. A glossary is provided to help understand the scientific terms. The journal is beautifully illustrated.

I found the book enjoyable and learned some things about penguins. The author acknowledged the director of the penguin study. The illustrations and design were appropriate for the age level and book. At times, the writing style was verbose. Overall, I would recommend it.
