Reviews
PreSchool-K-Jaques's popular nonsense rhyme tells the story of a lonely puffin shaped like a muffin, who has no one "To/play/with/at all." The fishes on which he usually dines suggest that he could play with them instead, and in the end, they all get along quite nicely, spending time together and eating pancakes. Halpern's simple, boldly outlined pictures are more imaginative and appealing than those in the version illustrated by Laura McGee Kvasnosky (Dutton, 1995; o.p.). Children will enjoy watching the puffin playing croquet, building a snowman, and sharing a feast with his newfound friends. Libraries not owning the earlier book, or those in need of a replacement, may want to consider purchasing the newer title.
