(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jarvis. A penguin family headed to a picnic accidentally winds up at the North Pole. A polar bear escorts them home--stopping in Italy, India, and elsewhere along the way. The book, which has a subtle (and timely) it's-a-small-world message, features funny whine-asides from the penguin kids ("I need to pee") and toothsome art with colors adjusted for each locale.
