Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Penguin Small meets Snowman, who helps him escape from some ill-tempered polar bears. However, the bears stomp on the ice until it breaks off, becoming a mini-iceberg, with Penguin and Snowman floating away from their home on the North Pole. They land on a tropical island (North Pole snow never melts) filled with wondrous animals, especially a Neverwozanoceros. Missing his friends, who have gone to the South Pole to escape the polar bears, Penguin sets out in Snowman's hat to find them, leaving his tearful friend behind. After a storm at sea and a ride on the nose of a whale, he reaches his destination. Colorful, appealing illustrations, with fold-out pages for the island, a glossy fold-out insert of the whale, and a small cloud extension, will delight preschoolers. However, the story mistakenly leads children to believe that penguins live or once lived among Eskimos at the North Pole.

A big adventure for a little penguin,
This review is from: Penguin Small (Paperback)
When my children were little, this was one of their favourite books from the library. The story is great and along the way, a lesson is learned. The art, the fold outs, and the characters add up to make an entertaining story for young readers. It is a joy to buy this book for my great neices and nephews.

Superb and Imaginative,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Penguin Small (Library Binding)
Our 5 and 6-year old daughters have quickly adopted this book as their favorite. Penguin Small presents an imaginative twist on the old moral that you can accomplish things if you only try them. It also teaches children to exercise their imaginations. Highly recommended.
