Penguins on the Ice

Meet the penguin. He is a bird in the snow. A penguin cannot fly. He walks and he slides. His wings are for swimming. Penguins swim fast in the cold sea. They eat little fish. On land, penguins stand in a big group. The group keeps them warm. A penguin egg sits on the nest. The papa keeps the egg warm. Soon a new penguin pips out. Welcome, little penguin.
