Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Review
“Yoon's distinctive illustrations use simple shapes, bold colors, and thick, black outlines to delineate the characters against snowy backgrounds . . . Grandpa's touching words about the meaning of Christmas and Penguin's sweet presents of sticks add depth to this unassuming but satisfying story.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Yoon's digital illustrations of Penguin and his pals are as heartwarming as ever . . . Penguin's good-hearted earnestness has won him plenty of admirers, and this holiday tale won't turn them away.” ―Booklist
“With their rough black outlines and bright colors, Yoon's digital graphics again create a cozy polar environment for the story, which emphasizes creativity, togetherness, and generosity as key elements for a memorable Christmas.” ―Publishers Weekly
“The noncommercial message and charmingly illustrated characters will surely delight fans of this picture book series.” ―School Library Journal
“A sweet, visually striking story of friendship and acceptance.” ―starred review, Booklist on BE A FRIEND
“A launchpad for discussions of individuality . . . A delightful story about the celebration of individuality and friendship.” ―Kirkus Reviews on BE A FRIEND
“Yoon manages to create visual dynamism . . . The simple narrative offers an opportunity for prediction and allows for text-to-self connections.” ―School Library Journal on PENGUIN'S BIG ADVENTURE
“The lovable Penguin's chunky persona exudes expressive emotion.” ―Booklist on PENGUIN'S BIG ADVENTURE
“Readers will respond to this warm tale of finding love.” ―Kirkus Reviews on PENGUIN IN LOVE
“A thoughtful, flawlessly executed exploration of theory of mind and emotional intelligence.” ―starred review, Publishers Weekly on FOUND
