Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Durable embossed pages heighten the drama of a young emperor penguin's rite of passage-the loss of his downy feathers-in The Little Penguin by A.J. Wood, illus. by Stephanie Boey.
From The Critics
PreS-Gr 2-When Little Penguin hatches, he is covered with downy gray feathers, but his father assures him that, "One day you will be an Emperor of the Ice like me." On their long journey across the big ice plain, Little Penguin forgets his father's warnings to stay close and soon gets lost. Not only that, but he also realizes that he is losing his feathers and is afraid he will freeze. All's well in the end, however, when the little animal is reunited with his parents. Wood weaves some information about the life and habits of Emperor penguins into this short tale. Boey's finely detailed pen-and-ink and pastel illustrations are done primarily in grays, blues, and yellows, and are printed on heavy, embossed stock. The raised areas give texture to the animals and add depth and interest to the landscapes. This slight story works nicely as an introduction to Antarctic life. It could be combined with other stories about family relationships, such as Barbara Joosse's Mama, Do You Love Me? (Chronicle, 1991), or other books about penguins, e.g., Helen Lester's "Tacky the Penguin" series (Houghton), to enrich a preschool storytime.-Roxanne Burg, Thousand Oaks Library, CA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
