March of the Penguins, a National Geographic documentary, is the vibrant, breathtaking — icy cold — story of Emperor penguins.

Filmed in Antarctica, Penguins takes an up-close look at the life cycle of these flightess birds. While some scenes may be frightening for young children, a large bird and seal capture penguins. And one mother penguin, distraught over losing a chick, tries to "kidnap" a neighbor's chick.

The remainder of the footage, is spectacular. The birds are super-cute. Their habits and instincts are interesting. Penguin parents show a great level of personal sacrifice, hatching and protecting their young. And hard work is required to survive. Affection and selfless love are demonstrated along the way.

The movie doesn't credit our Creator with the masterpiece of nature known as the emperor penguin. But if kids make a small effort to do so on their own, March of the Penguins transforms into a picture of God's creativity and care. Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." So do the penguins.
