Penguin Papa
If you’re looking for a role model of a father figure, then go no further than Antarctica where there are plenty of dads who go to great lengths to care of their young. That’s the subject of The Emperor’s Egg (Candlewick Press), a great book by Martin Jenkins for children ages 5 to 8. Of course, we’re talking about penguins, not people, but you and your kids will get the point: dads are an important part of their kids’ lives. Using bright illustrations and clear, accessible language, you’ll read about how a father can sit on an egg in the freezing cold for two months-straight. Top that, pops!
