Illustrated by
Guy Parker-Rees.
Singsongy, repetitive rhymed text introduces readers to the exploits of young penguins as they spend the day having fun. Things appear to take a dramatic turn when a lost seal pup appears, but everything turns out okay. Exuberant illustrations capture the penguins' playfulness. Though the penguins themselves are cartoony, background colors highlight the glorious iridescence of winter in the Antarctic.
