Customer Reviews

Great Movie

Your really get pulled into the world of the Penguins. I cheered, bit my nails with worry and even shed a tear. After watching the movie, we wanted to know more about the penguins. Luckily, the extras were just as good as the movie itself.

A Beautiful Collector's book

This is more of a collector's book than an informative book--what's in the movie is exactly in this book. However, there's an interesting section about making the film--the penguins were very curious about the camera! This has a beautiful cover and beautiful pictures. If you loved this film as much as I do, get it! The only problem is, some of the panoramic shots are grainy, and you have to hold the book out to see a smooth picture. I knocked a star of for that.

Penguins march from the pages in full color

Luc Jacquet's MARCH OF THE PENGUINS (0792261828, $30.00) was a surprise movie hit, attracting many audiences who didn't particularly care about penguins or nature films. Narration written by Jordan Roberts accompanies vivid color photos by Jerome Maison in a movie companion book filled with full-page vivid color. Both are top picks for general-interest libraries.

Amazing

This book brings the movie, and indeed the penguins, to life. It is a pleasure to read and to get lost in the beauty of Anarctica and the amazing feats of the penguins. I highly recommend it!

remember the adventure!

Rebeccasreads highly recommends MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, the companion book to that glorious movie. Open to page one & catch a glimpse of that snowy desolation, courtesy of Jerome Maison's exquisite photography, turn the page & meet the stars of this monumental endeavor, & follow Jordan Roberts' narration as the Penguins begin their very long walk ( & slide) to their nesting ground a hundred miles inland. Marvel, once again, at the colors of these gentle & determined creatures, at the immense conditions under which the mamas & papas struggle to keep their eggs warm, waiting in the frigid winter, for the Sun to return, for that first cheep, that first crack. MARCH OF THE PENGUINS will resonate with children & adults alike, creating a lifetime of endearing family memories
