Penguin Book

Ok, let me preface this by saying I'm a penguin lover, former science teacher, and current teaching librarian. So nothing disappoints me more than picking up a book and finding misinformation. Not only that, scientifically incorrect information in a kids' non-fiction book about penguins. So sad. On the very first page of this cute book --info aside, I still love the cute pictures-- it says that as a little penguin its mom keeps it warm in the egg. The problem is that female Emperor penguins let the male keep the egg warm while they go on a 2 month trip to the sea to feed. Can't believe the editor didn't catch this.
The rest of the book was fine, so you could still read it to little ones and set the record straight on that one fact as you read. (I might be tempted to white out the misinformation and correct it. The kids can't tell if it is mom or dad on the egg just by looking at the picture.) The pictures are very cute, and the text is simple and straightforward for young readers following a penguin from hatching to 2 1/2 years old.
