Sylviane Gangloff, an artist based in France, holds a degree in illustration from the School of Decorative Arts of Strasbourg.
PreS-Gr 1—After introducing themselves to readers, two quarrelsome penguins turn on each other, indignant that they have to share the book. "What are you doing in my book?" Gradually, their competitiveness turns to camaraderie as they encounter an artist wielding an eraser—threatening their very existence! The artist provides the birds with some art supplies, and, working together, they are able not only to redraw themselves but also turn the book's plain white backgrounds into a frosty polar field of icebergs and open sea. The illustrations are crisp and clear and realistically rendered. VERDICT Part of a four-book series, these interactive stories will appeal to young children and art teachers.—Paula Huddy, the Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN
