The following penguins are featured: * The fierce Adelie Penguin * The comical African Penguin * The awesome Emperor Penguin * The strange Galapagos Penguin * The regal King Penguin * The beautiful Little Blue Penguin * The burrowing Magellanic Penguin * The bad-tempered Rockhopper Penguin The pictures look great even in black and white and are excellent on the full color kindle. The description in the large text beneath is simple enough for early readers or for a parent to guide a child through.

      I would've enjoyed better quality horse photos and perhaps a better overall layout of the e-book. It would've been nice if it was geared toward a younger audience as well.Other than that, there were some interesting horse facts.***I received a free copy of this book, and in exchange, I have provided an honest review.***

      If your child has an interest in horses, this is a pretty good starter book. I would have liked to have seen more pictures, but overall it's a good book with accurate information. It does a good job at telling about different breeds of horses. I received this book from Library Thing in exchange for an honest review.

      Having ridden horses for the better part of my life, I knew a few of these fun facts but it was very interesting learning more about the different types of horses, including the various temperaments, uses, size, etc. Also, the photos of the horses were beautiful!

    3. The penguin's black-and-white appearance is used as a form of camouflage, keeping them safe from predators in the water.

    4. Their diet usually consists of fish, krill and squid.

    5. The penguin species that live close to the
