1969 Children's Hardcover Book, The Emperor Penguins, Kazue Mizumura, Science, Non Fiction, Zoology, Ornithology, Illustrated, Collectable

A wonderful children's hardcover book called The Emperor Penguins by Kazue Mizumura. This is a Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science Book.

This book combines fact and flavor of The Emperor Penguin. For example, the explanation of special feathers for warmth is accompanied by drawings of (1) a single feather, (2) several feathers in position, and (3) back-to-back uprights of penguin and boy silhouettes with shadings to indicate functional equivalents (including gloves and boots for the boy). Anatomy, habits, reproduction and child care are also considered in precise sentences that don't miss a trick. It starts at the zoo and ends with the wish to go to Antarctica.

Book Rating

As New: The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been lost in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old.

Fine: A Fine book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.

Reading Copy: A copy usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
