Kids Love Penguin Books
To be selected for this page the books had to be about penguins, recommended for children ages 4-8, be either 4 or 5 star ranking and be eligible for free shipping from Amazon. Being a penguin loving family we have read many of these, and my comments are included in the book's description.
The real fun of penguin books is that the whole family can enjoy them together.

Penguins Are Cool!
Mr. Poppers Penguins
Recommended reading level: ages 9-12
Mr. Popper's Penguins was one of my favorite stories as a child, and naturally grew to be one the stories I enjoy reading to my girls. It is a 1939 Newberry honor winner, and has been a classic read ever since. Mr. Popper is one of the most delightful and loving characters, and the books resonates so many great values like determination. In 2011 this classic book was made in to a movie staring Jim Carey.

Penguins (Smithsonian)
by: Seymour Simon
This Amazon customer review summed it up best:
In this interesting, easy-to-understand book you can learn many facts about penguins and how they live. This book is full of cool penguin photographs. My favorite picture is all the baby penguins huddled together. I think this book has a good balance of photographs and facts, much like a picture book, but with more information.

And Tango Makes Three
What a wonderful book. This story of two male penguins who were given the chance to nurture an egg and the penguin chick they hatched had me smiling from page one. My five year old was enchanted and I know that it will be a frequent re-read. I love the message of diversity, the story that's told in a loving way but mostly I love the illustrations. The fuzzy penguin chick pictures alone are worth the price of the book.

My son and I love this book. I saw it at our local aquarium but didn't buy it there and later looked for it on Amazon and got it quick and for a much cheaper price. It's a cute book with great text and pictures. My son is 2.

A Penguin Story
by Antoinette Portis
"Some of the picture books I read make me wish I were a better reviewer. I know my history of the art form. I know what makes one book a stronger better read than another. I can sense when a book will feel right to an adult and to a child. But I am bested by the best sometimes. A Penguin Story comes from Antoinette Portis, a woman who has figured out how to do something extraordinarily difficult: combine good design with pitch-perfect storytelling."

Your Personal Penguin - Board Book
by: Sandra Boynton
Now, lots of other penguins seem to be fine
in a universe of nothing but ice.
But if I could be yours, and you could be mine,
Our cozy little world would be twice as nice.
I want to be Your Personal Penguin.
