“Already I am hoping that I will be able to return next year to watch another season unfold“

Students could make a timeline of their own week or they could match pictures of the penguins throughout different periods of time to make a sequential period of time like in the story

This book was set up like a log where the researcher wrote about her experiences working with penguins in the Antarctic. It followed much of the penguins' life cycles and explored the hatching of new chicks and the migration of the adults. The information is clearly expressed with different headings for each of the days so a student could follow along throughout the year. It is a long book however so a younger child may lose interest.

A cute couple of books in this B&N exclusive found at a Friends of the Library store. Both feature characters with relatable difficulties and how they overcome them. As for the baseball book, it‘s a coffee table book that has a two page spread for each year. Pretty hefty. Very brief overviews. But it‘s baseball, so it‘s good. :)
