Description

Pippi is the fastest penguin in her colony. She also knows where to find the best food, even when other penguins struggle to find any. Pippi keeps the food to herself so she can feed her chick, Ella. But when Ella goes missing, Pippi needs the help of her colony to find her chick. Pippi learns about the importance of community and teamwork, and changes her tune when it comes to sharing. This colorful book will both teach readers about life as a penguin and impart important life lessons about sharing and teamwork.

My Thoughts

If you know me, you know I love penguins. So, I have a weakness for any book about penguins. The illustrations in this book are realistic, but also show animation and clear expressions in the penguin characters. Pipi knows a sectet place for finding krill, but doesn’t want to share. But, of course, by the end of the book she learns the importance of sharing and helping out your community. I thought it was interesting that the parent was the greedy character in this book. It shows that we can all change and learn new lessons, no matter how old.
