Children really will love this book. Penguins are always popular, charming little birds, full of character. Just look at the popularity of the Penguin Parade at Edinburgh Zoo every day! The other animals and birds featured are also popular, robin red breast, squirrel, rabbits, and so on. The illustrations are wonderful, detailed but uncluttered.
There is limited dialogue, so great for small attention spans, and the "lift the flap" pictures provide the activity and "buy in". The reducing number of penguins will also help with numeracy. The book is perfect bound, so no staples for little fingers to catch on, and it is sturdy, it weighs 290 grams. The flaps are large, with well glued hinges, so should withstand the rough handling children's books have to endure.
It is rather directed towards the Christmas market, but I'm sure it will be a favourite all through the year. It is a great wee book, and i'm sure that children will cherish and return to it often.
