An emperor penguin watches a baby. Then the baby gets separated and worries that he is losing his feathers. Discussions with other animals makes him feel worse. Finally he finds his parents and jumps in the water and realizes he has better feathers now. The book has too much text and doesn't interest kids.
This was formerly known as "Romeo and Lou blast off". Romeo and Lou are a polar bear and a penguin. They build a rocket out of snow and launch into space. They end up landing in a city. They try communicating with others such as a "penguin" (guy in a tuxedo), walruses (men with big mustaches) and others. Nobody understands them. They get chased by a cop and eventually hide on a boat. There they build a "rocket" out of cardboard, and "use it" as they are sailing back home. It has some nice visual humor.
This is one of those DK books. It has very nice pictures and some words that go along. It was written by committee and felt familiar. There is not much originality, but if you are into penguins, it is for you.
