(4) K-3 In search of exciting things to write about in his new journal, an exuberant penguin wanders about the Antarctic, oblivious to his inadvertent foiling of attacks by wolves, bears, whales, and a walrus. The rhyming text is clunky, and word choice is lackluster. What saves this story is the simultaneous humor and danger communicated in the expressive cartoon illustrations.
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
