20th January Penguin Appreciation Day

Today is Penguin Awareness Day—a time to celebrate these remarkable birds and highlight the need to protect them.  Penguins are more than just adorable animals; they're key indicators of ocean health and vital players in marine ecosystems.

Penguins fascinate me, and I am not a bird lover. Perhaps it is because they do not fly that I can separate them from birds. I have written about this day and World Penguin Day which is 25th April, several times before, so here I am just going to highlight some books that have been published in the last couple of years and which I probably haven't mentioned before.

Some nonfiction:

• Do Penguins' Feet Freeze?  by The National Museum

Do Penguins Like the Cold? by Huw Lewis-Jones

Passionate About Penguins by Owen Davey

The Penguin Who Lost His Way by John Hay


Some fiction:

Ethel the Penguin  by Ursula Dubosarsky

Jonty Gentoo by Julia Donaldson

Penguin's Egg by Anna Kemp

A Penguin Like Me by Marcus Pfister

• Clive Penguin by Huw Lewis Jones
