A play on the five little ducks song of childhood, five little penguins is a beautifully illustrated story that allows children to read interactively by lifting the flaps and trying to find the missing baby penguins. This not only allows them to take part in the story rather than passively listening, but it also helps with their counting skills, their recognition skills and educates them on different species of animals they may be less familar with. A lovely winter story, this can be brought out again and again and read with your little one in many different ways, not just in a typical linear fashion, due to the flaps the children can lift and explore with an adult or alone. A beautiful book all around, which would look perfect on any book shelf and help to start many conversations with little ones about safety, animals from different parts of the world and seasons, among other things. A lovely book all around!
