See all formats and editions

The Little Penguin Handbook continues to revolutionize the way pocket handbooks present information. With more visuals and sample documents than other essential handbooks, this handy full-color reference gives students just what they need to know about the writing and research processes, while providing extensive coverage of documentation and grammar. With a reorganized and updated research section, new visual “maps” of the research and documentation processes, an updated section on writing in the disciplines, a new chapter on online courses, and a new chapter on argument, The Little Penguin Handbook continues to be an invaluable resource for students in composition courses and in courses across the curriculum.

It came on time and in great shape. I find it just as useful and much more convenient than the full sized version!

I was required to buy this book for my Freshman Writing class at BYU. It was so worth the money! It is so helpful especially with MLA Formatting. It's so easy to navigate and it's not at all bulky. It's the perfect size. Thanks Amazon!

The book arrived quickly and in great condition! This is great for any college student or writer to keep on hand and I love the small size. Also the price wasn't bad either

Get this older edition. The newer editions are not worth the heightened price at all. I compared this to a classmate's much newer edition, and it is pretty much the exact same information, just different pages with some different examples. Personally, I found this book pretty much useless in the classroom context. Besides that first day of class when I compared it to my classmate's, I hadn't opened it once for the whole semester. But if you feel like you need one, then buy the older edition it is just as helpful and will save you some cash!

Poor me
5.0 out of 5 stars Just what the teacher ordered

Trying to complete a course when I have never done academic writing is a bit difficult. The tutor recommended that I read some books about academic writing and recommended "the little penguin handbook". The price was right on Amazon, delivery was what I paid for and the book is so easy to read and understand. I have read it twice since receiving this 'bible to writing'.
