About the Author
Jean-Luc Coudray (who wrote this book) and Philippe Coudray (who did the drawings) are twin brothers, both cartoonists in their native country of France. They identify with penguins in wanting people to tell them apart. Philippe’s Benjamin Bear TOON books have received effusive praise and have twice been nominated for Eisner awards. Both brothers enjoy nature but while Jean-Luc enjoys hiking in central France, the French forests aren’t big enough for Philippe: he goes to the North American wilderness every year in search of Bigfoot.
Reviews
K-Gr 1—Brightly colored two-panel comic strips highlight the appeal and innate comedy of look-alike penguins. The answers to silly questions (e.g., "How do penguins know they've reached the South Pole?") are more about fun than information ("Every sign points north."). A butter yellow sun—melting snow, ice, and penguin fat—highlights the black-and-white penguins in their shades-of-blue world. One penguin holds a yellow umbrella sideways to stay out of the sideways-falling rain, which looks like snow, even though it's dry as a desert in the South Pole. Goofy indeed, but luscious colors invite readers into each illustration. VERDICT While not quite as engaging as the "Benjamin Bear" books, this is nevertheless a good choice for beginning readers.—Frances E. Millhouser, formerly at Fairfax County Public Library, VA
