Publisher Description
To keep myself up off the ice,I find my father's feet are nice.I snuggle in his belly fluff,And that's how I stay warm enough.
In wild and wacky rhymes, Emperor penguins describe their world--how they hatch, dive, swim, and survive. The American Library Association chose Antarctic Antics for the prestigious Andrew Carnegie Medal as the best children's video of 2000. Music by the Mavericks.Download and start listening now!
"2009 12 16If forced to choose, as I was last night, I'd have to say that "Regurgitate" is still my favorite. That's because I was suffering from hyperemisis in my first pregnancy, when my husband gave this to me, and because I've just always loved that word. "
— Kaethe (5 out of 5 stars)

" This book was pretty funny - I only picked it up because my fiance collects penguins, so it caught my eye on the shelf. The penguin poems were creative and informative, so this would be a good book for a child to learn about the animal. "

" Very cute -- but in a good way (not in an annoying way, I guess)! <br/> <br/>My favorite part is in "I'm looking for my mother" with all of the sounds that mother penguins make: "Only my mom would say <em>ack</em>!" "
