"At the bottom of the planet lies a land of ice and granite…Antarctica!…come visit on a lark-tica, but don't forget your park-tica," says this engaging video, which transforms the poetry of the book into ballads of the penguin world.


"The playful animation and original musical compositions of this video enliven the tone of each poem," said Susan Erickson, chair of the Carnegie Selection Committee. "The endearing penguins have wide appeal and unforgettable personalities, leaving viewers with warm feelings for the coldest place on earth!"
