Jacquet, Luc; Maison, Jerome; and Fifield, Donnali. March of the Penguins: Companion to the Major Motion Picture. Washington, D.C. : National Geographic, 2006.
Plot: The book supplements the famous movie. Much of the text follows the narration of the film, garnished by attractive photographs and helpful captions.
Genre: Documentary-Books, Animals
Reading Level: Aimed at adults, but younger readers may it as well.
Similar Titles: Eye to Eye: Intimate Encounters with the Animal World, Penguins of the World
Personal Thoughts: Of all the books based on documentaries I read this week, this one was the most similar to the original source. The text was light but meaningful while the photos were gorgeous yet complementary. As a result, the book provides an ideal companion to the movie.
As a side note, I tried to copy the cover with Jerome and Toothless. I'm not sure if it worked.
