About the Author
Megan McDonald says, "A hilarious New York Times photo of two penguins in a hotel room inspired this tale." She is the author of sixteen picture books, many inspired by animals and odd facts about them. Among these books are the IRA award-winning Is This a House for Hermit Crab?, illustrated by S. D. Schindler; Insects Are My Life, illustrated by Paul Brett Johnson; The Night Iguana Left Home, illustrated by Ponder Goembel; and Baya, Baya, Lulla-by-a, illustrated by Vera Rosenberry. Her "Judy Moody" stories for older readers have quickly become favorites. She and her husband call Sebastopol, California, home.
From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 1. Penguin and his partner, Little Blue, are performers at Water World in San Francisco. After they are told that their show is going on the road, Penguin dreams of going home to Antarctica. Instead, the show winds up in Kansas, where the desire to re-create the icy waters of their homeland gets the performers into trouble with hotel security. In city after city, the penguins try to make themselves at home. They paint their hotel room black and white and order krill (they settle for shrimp), but they still miss Antarctica and their penguin friends. Then one day in Miami they spot a cruise ship and Penguin declares, "We've signed our last autograph! We're going home." Tillotson's masterful oil paintings, drenched in cool blues, nicely convey the penguins' massive iceberg homeland as well as the joy of coming home to "hundreds of thousands of penguins, all dressed for a party!" Use this in conjunction with a science unit on penguins or a study of Antarctica. Lauren Peterson
