![]() ![]() ![]() The illustrations are bright and fun, though I confess I prefer the illustrations in If You Were a Penguin. Curse my absent-mindedness! Luckily, we have another great option for fun penguin facts and science tidbits on hand: Penguins, Penguins, Everywhere! by Bob Barner. I’m sure it’s packed away in a box somewhere that will turn up eventually, but for now, I am bereft. It’s such an adorable book full of rhymes and penguin facts. Penguins Teach Science: I wish I could find my copy of If You Were a Penguin by Wendell and Florence Minor ( review)! I misplaced it long before Sammers was born, sigh. Prepare yourselves: it’s unbearably cute. Lest you doubt me, I’ve complied a list (which is by no means exhaustive) of some very excellent children’s books featuring penguins. Lo, there is a penguin book for EVERY occasion and learning opportunity. “How many penguin books can there possibly be? And on how many subjects? There are only so many cutesy rhymes one can make with ‘waddle’!” But you, my bookish friend, would be incorrect. Y’all know by now that I’m an avid penguin enthusiast, and that I shamelessly roped my child into the obsession (check out his first Halloween and nursery if you require proof.) Sammy has a MASSIVE book collection, and a large swath of that is dedicated to our flightless feathered friends. ![]() Penguin Books for Every Occasion: Kid Lit with my KidletįebruKatie Words for Worms Bookish Baby, Children's Books, Children's Fiction, Kidlit with my Kidlet 2 ![]()
