Snowflakes? Many snowflakes. Winter is coming. So begins this ever-so-simple story. As the snow starts to fall, the excited penguins pull out scarves, mittens, heavy socks, and boots, and Mama helps them bundle up. But when it’s time to go out, one timid penguin decides to stay home. Filled with waddling baby penguins, playful text, and delightful illustrations, this book feels like a young picture-book classic in the making. - From Amazon
Snow day! Winter
I love the bold shapes (sooooo Robinson!!!) and sparse text! The most interesting thing to me about this was that never in the text is it SAID that this is about penguins except for in the title. The illustrations really help make the book, but the text makes it so the child can self-insert and become part of the story!
