Hi, there! I’m an emperor penguin. I might be the largest penguin on Earth, but I started life much smaller, just like you! Learn more about my life cycle and how I went from an egg to the king of Antarctica.

My Life as an Emperor Penguin is part of the My Life Cycle series, which uses adorable, first-person narratives to introduce a variety of life cycles. These illustrated non-fiction picture books combine science and humour to deepen students’ understanding of different organisms and help young readers make easy comparisons between their life cycles and those of other living things.

Fact boxes present additional science information, and each book ends with a complete life-cycle diagram. Perfect for supporting the study of plants and animals in the Year 2 science curriculum, help young readers get to know plants, animals and other living things from start to finish!
