(4) K-3 Polar bear Alex and penguin Zina are opposites in many ways, from the realistic ("Alex lives in the Arctic. / Zina lives in the Antarctic") to the fanciful ("Alex gets up late. / Zina rises early"). Cartoony pencil, charcoal, and watercolor illustrations reinforce the concept's humor. It's a pleasant-enough story that doesn't add up to much.
