Children love Emperor penguins, because they're cute and funny. In PENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO!, children will discover how these waddling birds--that "never, ever fly"--are amazingly adapted to living in Earth's most extreme environment. The book transports children to the frozen continent of Antarctica, where Emperor penguins not only waddle, but sled on their bellies across the ice, dive deep in the ocean, trek over long distances, huddle against snowy blizzards, and even make bubbles with their feathers, to survive and raise their fluffy chicks.Rhyming verses full of penguin surprises and movement, and expanded STEM-rich backmatter, let readers and soon-to-be-readers explore Emperors' wild, wintry world. You-are-there photos, by scientists and photographers on the Antarctic sea ice and in the polar ocean (some photos never published for children before), capture all kinds of penguin motion: leaping out of the ocean after diving for food, checking on an egg carried on a parent penguin's feet, running with a scientist on the ice, and more.PENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO! spotlights how scientists are discovering the penguins' secrets, like how Emperors use underwater bubble streams to speed through the ocean and launch themselves up, out, and back onto the ice. Scientists have also found how Emperor penguins use a kind of teamwork by constantly shuffling, step by step, through their huddle so all the penguins get a turn in the warm center.In the book, children can learn how climate change is melting sea ice, now making Emperor penguins a threatened species, and how people around the world can help protect and conserve these much-loved birds.

"You don't have to be in a white coat in a lab to be engaging in science or engineering--you can achieve whatever you want to in these fields."--Adrian McCallum, glaciologist, meteorologist, oceanographer, polar engineer, adventure STEM advocate "While the scientists in the book include pioneers in their fields and environmental heroes, Scientists Get Dressed captures the important fact that scientists work everywhere, and are everyday people children might encounter. The scientists' dedication and enjoyment of their work is unmistakable in the book's photos, many never published before."--Christine Royce, author, "Teaching Through Trade Books" column in Science and Children--National Science Teachers Association Stunning and engaging "you are there" photos and fun-fact filled text let young readers discover how scientists suit up, gown up, gear up, even dress up in costume to do their jobs. Through the unique lens of what scientists wear, young readers (and listeners) meet real scientists and learn about the challenges they face to make new discoveries, save lives and save our planet. "Starting with Mae Jemison on the cover, Rose puts an unusually diverse gallery of researchers on the figurative runway...An eye-opening catalog of STEM wear."--Kirkus Reviews

In this high-energy book, meant to be sung to the tune of the "The Twelve Days of Christmas," a teacher introduces her class to a winter activity every day. What could be more fun than penguins, teddy bears, paper snowflakes, sugar cubes, and more?!

The true, inspiring story and photos of Beauty, the wild bald eagle that made world news when she injured, rescued, and for the first time ever, received a 3D-printed prosthetic beak.
