The other penguins tell Gilbert there’s no use, and that he’ll never be able to fly, but Gilbert is determined and won’t let any obstacle stand in his way.

Whether you use these books about penguins for a topic in your science or geography lessons, or you simply use them to entertain a penguin lover, we’re sure you’ll find them useful. We read about some problems of having too many penguins in one household. For examples, they occupied the bathroom too frequently, they became restless when summer came, they were very noisy, they stink, and they ate too many fishes. The illustrations are hilarious. Amy the sister went crazy, the mum was always in action solving out the instant problems in the household, the dad was always thinking of how to resolve the penguin issues with mathematical solutions and formulae, while the little boy seemed to be the only one enjoying the whole ridiculous situation of a massive crowd of penguins. Learning to count has never been more fun than in this crazy tale of a dog, a lion and a tiger all showing off how many apples they can balance on their heads as they skip, walk the tightrope and roller skate their way through the book. Dr Seuss books are much loved amongst young audiences. On the first day of the new year a penguin arrives at a home in France. He's followed by another, and another, and another, until the house is overflowing with penguins. As the two children in the family struggle to care for the ever increasing brood, Dad tries to organize them mathematically, and mom tries to solve the puzzle of the mysterious penguin perpetrator. At the end of the year, their ecologist uncle turns up to explain his elaborate and expensive plan to rescue the penguins from global warming. He's then off to the arctic to save the polar bears...In addition to writing for film, television, and newspapers, Jean-Luc Fromental is the author of about 30 books, including novels, travelogues, children’s books, and comics.

Math is not really my favorite or my best subject, but my niece loves math, so I thought she would enjoy that aspect of the story as well. I think that she actually found it somewhat interruptive, though, and wasn't interested in being pulled out of the story to solve a math problem. In the end I just read the story and let her appreciate it as a story. I did like the author's attempt to show kids real-world applications for math, since a common refrain is "when am I ever going to use this?!" In one minute, you can blink your eyes twenty times, hug your dog, plant seeds, say good-bye, watch the rain, or even save a life. So much can occur in this sliver of time—one minute can feel like a singular experience. This poignant picture book is at once an introduction to time for young readers, an ode to living each moment with purpose, and a thoughtful exploration of how children experience one minute (may it seem short or long) playfully, profoundly, and with a boundless sense of possibility. It’s important near the end that 365 is odd. There are 182 pairs of penguins plus one penguin, Chilly, who has blue feet instead of orange ones. Once there was a triangle that was -- as most triangles are -- always busy." The book points out some of the many frequent places where triangles can be found such as "holding up roofs, supporting bridges, making music, catching the wind for sailboats, being slices of pie . . . and more." "The triangle's favorite thing, however, was to slip into place when people put their hands on their hips." This last refers to the space between the arm and the body. The triangle likes this shape because "that way I always hear the latest news . . . which I can tell my friends." And his friends like that. Past Boston Globe–Horn Book Award Winners". www.hbook.com.

Penguins is a 2006 children's book by Jean-Luc Fromental and illustrated by Joelle Jolivet which tells the story of a family who receives a penguin each day for a year. It was a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Award winner. The book talks about how much fish each penguin eats per day, and so how much fish all the penguins each together per day when they have 100 penguins. This is then converted to dollars per day (“A pound costs 3 dollars… 750 dollars! Per day!”) The hairstyle is the same, the glasses are the same, and what is even more creepy, the clothing is the same. I felt like they have been observing me behind trees, trashcans, questionable movie theaters to capture my essense.
