Chicky Chases: A Gentoo Penguin Tale of Finding Courage

The first thing that Chicky, a Gentoo penguin, must do-before he can learn how to swim and feed himself-is to get into the ocean. After chasing his parents all around the beach and falling on his beak, will hungry Chicky figure out that he must gather his courage and bravely step into the icy sea? Based on real behaviours observed in Antarctica, the beautiful 20 watercolour images illustrate the fictional narrative of this courageous step towards independence. Suitable for ages 3-7. Teachers notes and companion colouring-in book are also available.
