 Perky Little Penguins - Tony Mitton
 Perky Little Penguins - Tony Mitton ... some snow-filled fun -- how could you resist? Penguins are perennially popular, just think of the success of March of the Penguins and Happy Feet. The brilliantly colourful illustrations and terrific text make this a picture book to be enjoyed time and time again.Newest Review: ... day, its time for the penguins to go to bed. They all traipse back to their mums and dads and the day is ended with a cosy ... more ... cuddle! Aahhh!
This really is a beautiful story and what really makes it, is that it's all written in rhyme with an excellent rhythm and a lot of energy and vibrancy. The language used is really great too and the one thing that you really notice is the tons of alliteration throughout the book. One example of this is:
Perky little penguins
as they jump about,
make a squeaky, shrieky noise -
with a squabby shout!
Later there is:
They swirl about, they twirl about,
splashy, sploshy, splish.
These words are all real...more |

I love penguins and everything to do with them and I also seem to be passing this love on to my two little girls. Everytime we see a story book about penguins it seems we have to read it! This latest one - Perky Little Penguins - they absolutely love! This story is written by Tony Mitton and is illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees and it is absolutely wonderful from the first word. In fact even before you open the book, you get a good flavour by looking at the lively, vibrant colourful picture on the cover. As you can see this story is definitely going to involve some 'perky little penguins'. I have to say that there isn't really very much of a storyline ... Read the complete review
