Little Penguin - Patrick Benson ... insignificant when compared to the much larger Emperor penguins with whom she shares the Antarctic landscape. As she plays in the water and on the snow and ice, she wonders about other animals that come in big and little sizes, like fish, but when she finds a new playmate just her age, a Sperm whale, Pip is no longer worried. And the next time she passes the Emperor penguins, They're big, but not so big, she thinks, and she walks right on by. This little penguin's preoccupation with size is an on-target subject for young listeners who are also attempting to understand their places in the scheme of the larger universe. Benson's illustrations are realistic yet have intrinsic child appeal; because the polar landscape is naturally sparse, readers can focus on Pip and her antics in every picture. Even large areas of black, such as the penguins' backs and the gigantic whale, are softened through the judicious use of crosshatching. The book's gentle humor, the presentation of simple science concepts, and the reassuring conclusion earn it a place on library shelves.

Here she sees big fish and little fish and wonders why there is such a difference in their size. Then the biggest surprise of all - she comes alongside something incredibly large floating in the sea! She climbs up on it, stumbles a...more

Premium Review Little Penguin - Patrick Benson: Size doesn't matter! (551 words)

I have to confess that I do have a 'bit of a thing' about penguins. I absolutely adore the little birds and tend to share this love with my two little girls, so whenever we see a book about a penguin we have to buy it! 'Little Penguin' is written by Patrick Benson and is a picture story book published by Walker Books. It tells the story of Pip, who is an Adelie penguin living in Antarctica and she is three years old. Coincidentally, my eldest daughter is also three and loves the fact that she and Pip are the same age! The fact that Pip is three is quite central to this story too. As she is quite an inquisitive penguin she often goes exploring and ...  Read the complete review
