Pierre, an African penguin who lives at the California
Academy of Sciences, prefers warmer climates.
He loses his feathers and then he can’t swim because he is too cold. His
handler, Pam, designs a neoprene wetsuit that keeps him warm while he is
swimming. His feathers eventually grow back.
This is a true story for elementary age children. They will
enjoy reading about Pierre, and at the end of the book is a page of 'Q&A
With Pam' that has questions such as ‘What is neoprene?’. A very good book with an enjoyable story and
great information about penguins.
