About this title

Review:

"Yoon's cute, boldly lined characters and graphic compositions tell the story in a series of spots, full-page images, and thought bubbles. This picture book, like many before it, proves that love comes in many forms." --"Booklist", on "Penguin and Pinecone"

"Crisp illustrations that capture a genuinely loving heart . . . a strong if whimsical choice for those separated from loved ones." --"Kirkus Reviews", on "Penguin and Pinecone"

"Simple yet affecting . . . ideal for a lesson plan on friendship, this book explores the theme sweetly and boldly." --"Library Media Connection", on "Penguin and Pinecone"

"This delightful companion to "Penguin and Pinecone" presents another parable of friendship, this time with an exotic tropical crab. With her signature thick lines, pure colors and scratchy textures, Yoon creates a beach backdrop to showcase Penguin's tender personality. Lesson learned: The magic of friendship does not depend on where you are or what you are doing--it is about being together and learning from each other." --"Kirkus Reviews", on "Penguin on Vacation"

"Yoon's story of an unlikely interspecies friendship is both funny and sweet . . . let's hope that, as the Antarctic Ambassador of Friendship, Penguin, too, shall return in more adventures." --"Horn Book", on "Penguin on Vacation"

"Readers will respond to this warm tale of finding love." --"Kirkus Reviews", on "Penguin in Love"

"This seasonal tale, that's also a bit about little brothers, adventures and the endless diversity of pumpkins, hits the spot." --"Kirkus Reviews"

"Bright digital art with bold outlines and succinct narration with some dialogue make this story well suited for reading aloud." --"School Library Journal "

"Vibrantly colored illustrations add to the crisp, autumn feel. This book could have great uses during lessons on the four seasons and being observant of the world around you." --"Library Media Connection"

"[Yoon's] squat, chunky penguins and their quirky adventures should find a sweet spot with toddlers." --"Publishers Weekly"

"The appeal here, as usual, is Yoon's thick-lined digital illustrations with clean, saturated colors and adorable characters." --"The Horn Book Magazine"
