Marcus Pfister has brought families another terrific story to share together! In "Penguin Pete and Pat", This popular author of "The Rainbow Fish" has brought to life a new adventure full of lovable characters. He shows his creativity, both in the story and in his adorable, detailed illustrations.
Penguin Pete goes on an amazing adventure with Walter Whale. They meet many exciting new friends, including an octopus and some dolphins. Pete just couldn't wait to get home and tell his family and friends all about his trip! When he arrived, everyone in the penguin colony came out to see him, including a girl penguin with a blue beak.
After asking around, Pete finds out where Pat, the pretty blue-beaked penguin lives. They share an icicle and quickly become friends. It's not long before Pete asks "for Pat's flipper in marriage"! And together they start a family, with their green-beaked son Tim, who starts to have his own adventures.
Pfister's artwork is truly unique. His rendering of the Arctic animals in his tale are both realistic and friendly at the same time. Kids will be able to identify several different species, and the creatures portrayed can be a springboard for parents to share what they know about these animals with their children.
A fun story from North-South books, this one will delight you and your young reader for many evening story times to come!
