Books on Penguins

On these pages you will find details of many of the books about penguins we own.

The section on factual penguin books includes some academic texts as well as several well written books aimed at a more general audience.  All the books listed are well written and worth reading.

The section on Kid's Books mainly contains story books about penguins, although there are a couple of factual books as well.

The section on Antarctica and sub-Antarctic Islands includes a variety of books from travel books to detailed scientific reports.  All the books have significant parts devoted to the penguins found in the region they cover.

The section on Antarctic exploration covers books on journeys to Antarctica from the earliest times up to the present - many of these books have little or no account of penguins, but we find the Antarctic history compelling reading.

The section of books on wildlife that include penguin chapters contains all sorts of books that provide useful information about penguins while not having been written exclusively about the penguins.

The section on penguin picture books lists a few books that simply contain superb photos of penguins - we have also included a few other miscellaneous books on this page.
