Peter the Penguin

by Susan Hansen

Peter is a fluffy gray penguin chick. He lives in the Antarctic with many other little Emperor penguins. After his mom laid her egg, she gave it to his dad to keep it warm. Then his mom went off to hunt for food in the ocean. Peter's dad kept the egg warm, until at last the egg cracked and out came Peter! His dad took care of him. For the next two months they spent most of their time sleeping near the other penguins. Peter's dad fed him a special food from his mouth, but he did not eat any food himself. His dad lived off his body fat during this time. Months later, a very happy day arrived. Peter's mom returned from feeding out in the ocean. She joined the hundreds of other penguins in the colony. Peter's father let out special calls to let her know where they were. Peter’s mother followed the sound of his calls and at last the family was back together again. Peter's mom began to feed her little chick with food that she had stored in her tummy. Now it was dad's turn to head out to sea to feed and get strong again. When he returned both parents cared for their little chick.

Someday Peter will be grown up, and he will have a baby chick to care for, just like his parents cared for him.
