5/26/2023 0 Comments One cool friend![]() ![]() Unlike Kathryn, I did not see the end coming. It’s a winner.Ī tremendous amount of gratitude for Goodreads friend Kathryn’s review for motivating me to get to this one. This book is worth owning and it’s also gift worthy. Some warnings: vegan kids might have questions and their adults might want to have discussions, very young kids might need to be told a freezer is not conducive to staying alive, kids will probably clamor to go to the aquarium or other places to visit penguins, kids might ask for a penguin as a pet. The book’s humor reminds me somewhat of the Bad Bears books by Daniel Pinkwater and that is high praise indeed. I love the boy, the penguin, the father, and the surprise/twist ending, and the science too. Both story and pictures are at times very, very funny. It’s completely charming and absolutely adorable, and very amusing. I was enthusiastic about this book because I’m a fan of David Small's illustrations, and they are wonderful here, but so is the story. ![]()
