PS
As they relax on their dilapidated sofa, a panda tells its penguin housemate that they need a new one. While out shopping, they disparage every prospective sofa ("Too squishy," "Too colorful," etc.). Upon returning home, they find the "perfect sofa": theirs. This sweet story about the comforts of home has cheeky visuals—e.g., the "too modern" sofa's pattern is Mondrian-esque.

Little Penguin longs to fly like other birds, but despite multiple attempts--shown in a series of small, comical drawings of determined flapping--he cannot get airborne. He discovers, though, that for him, swimming is flying. Kuo uses shades of black, white, and blue to illustrate her straightforward text, with loose, sketchlike lines that allow the crayon-like textures to show.
