Penguin Picture Books

Here is a list of a few of our favorite picture books that feature—you guessed it—penguins! But these are no ordinary penguins. On the pages of these fun books, you’ll meet a lost penguin, a dancing penguin, and even a penguin who wants to learn to fly!

As you can see, there are hours of learning and fun in The Penguin Pack. But that’s not all! We’ve got even more!

Five Hands-on Penguin Activities!

  1. Map It!

    Penguins live in a variety of places all over the world, but they nearly always stay south of the Equator. Penguins can be found in parts of Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Africa. Using a world map or globe, locate all the places where penguins live. If desired, mark the locations on the map with penguin stickers.

  2. Big or Small?

    The largest species of penguin is the Emperor, which stands about 4 feet tall. The smallest species of penguin is the Little penguin, which is about 12 inches tall. Using a measuring tape, mark off two spots—one at 12 inches and one at 48 inches—on a wall or a large piece of poster board. Measure a variety of household objects—or even the family pet!—and compare them to the size of the Little and Emperor penguins.

  3. Balance the Egg

    After the female Emperor penguin lays an egg, the male Emperor penguin keeps it warm by balancing it on his feet for 64 days. Try to balance a plastic toy egg or a small stuffed toy on your feet. Waddle around the house like a penguin and see how far you can get without dropping your egg.

  4. How Cold Is It?

    It gets very cold where Emperor penguins live; the average temperature is -4° Fahrenheit. Find the -4° mark on the outdoor thermometer at your house. Now compare your current temperature to the -4° mark. Do you think it is cold enough for Emperor penguins to be happy in your neighborhood?

  5. Dress Like a Penguin

    Penguins are known for their distinctive black-and-white coloring. Have a “dress up as a penguin” day! Pull out black-and-white clothing items and spend the day feeling like a penguin.
