Reviews

PreS-Gr 1—Little Penguin sets out to visit his friend on a faraway iceberg, traveling high and low, in front and behind, above and below undersea structures and creatures. The lift-the-flap format reveals the second half of all of the conceptual pairings, some smoothly, others awkwardly impeding the flow of the page-turning, especially a vertical flap that crosses the gutter. The digital artwork is dark and cool, with the texture of block prints and the clean lines of papercut. The story line is minimal and the book mainly functions as an exercise in opposites and directional concepts. An additional purchase.—Heidi Estrin, Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL
