You-are-there photos, by scientists and photographers on the Antarctic sea ice and in the polar ocean (some photos never published for children before), capture all kinds of penguin motion: leaping out of the ocean after diving for food, checking on an egg carried on a parent penguin's feet, running with a scientist on the ice, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePENGUINS READY TO GO, GO, GO!\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003espotlights how scientists are discovering the penguins' secrets, like how Emperors use underwater bubble streams to speed through the ocean and launch themselves up, out, and back onto the ice.
