Penguin on Vacation

Cute book that my toddler loves. He enjoys the whole series so far

My daughter is 4 1/2 and loves this book. We actually have all 3 (Penguin and Pinecone and Penguin in Love.) We'll get the 4th one when it comes out this summer. This is the best in the series. It's so cute. It's about a penguin who wants to go on vacation somewhere different...somewhere tropical. So he goes to the beach but doesn't know how to play in the sand. He meets a crab who befriends him and shows him how to have fun at the beach. Then crab visits penguin in the Antarctic. It's a tale of friendship. Very cute. My daughter wants to read it every night and has it memorized. I first saw this book at the library one week before we were going on vacation last year (when she was 3 1/2) and thought it might help her understand what vacation is. In the book, when their respective vacations are over it says "All vacations must come to an end. It was time for penguin/crab to go home." I actually used that line when we had to go home because my daughter was crying. As soon as I said that she stopped crying and went to the car.

A very cute story. It's kind and humorous. My kids pick this book for reading often. We all love to dream about vacation...

Great books, kids love it.

We started with penguin and pinecone. Got this one after our summer beach vacation, kids love it. Cute story and drawings, one that I'm happy to read several nights in a row.

Cute story

My almost 2 year old loves this book and we often read it every day. She already liked penguins so she liked seeing this penguin and what he does. We've read it so much that she often "reads" parts of it by herself. In this book penguin goes on vacation, meets a new friend, does new things, then returns home with his friend. The pictures are fun to look at and but not so overwhelming that we can't talk about everything going on. Great book, especially for penguin lovers.

Cute story, great illustrations. Added to Grandma's library.
