Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—In the title character's sixth adventure, he leads his family from their icy home to the heart of the forest, where Pinecone (introduced in the first book) has grown into a tall tree—perfect for Christmas adornments. After a pleasant trimming party, all go to sleep with heads full of wishes. But during the night, a blizzard wreaks havoc. In the morning, not only are all the decorations gone but so are the presents. Grandpa reminds everyone that the true joy of Christmas is being with loved ones, but Penguin goes off into the snow and returns with creative gifts to fulfill each wish but his own. His wish had been to share Christmas with the whole forest. As the sun melts the snow, the ornaments are discovered on the surrounding trees. Old and new friends gather at nightfall to see the beautiful array, making Penguin's wish come true after all. VERDICT The noncommercial message and charmingly illustrated characters will surely delight fans of this picture book series.—Linda Israelson, Los Angeles Public Library

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
