A Cute, Simple, Winter Read!
By Ashley M.
http://readpicturebooks.wordpress.comI just came across Peter Loves Penguin at the library and it looked really cute, so I checked it out and read it to my son. He absolutely loves this book! It is about a little boy and his stuffed penguin and how they spend their day together. In this book Peter and Penguin wake up together and they go outside to build a snowman. It illustrates a perfect friendship between a boy and his stuffed animal; so sweet! Every child will be able to relate to this story and it helps teach them the importance of friendship, caring, and sharing.I adore how simple this story is. There is only one sentence on each page and each sentence only contains 3 to five words. The illustrations are beautiful, simple, and accurately portray the text. They are very colorful and eye-catching as well, which is great for young children.This is a beautiful winter story and one you should definitely get for your child. I am sure they will love it! I believe it would be appropriate to start reading as early as 6 months because of its simplicity, even though the recommend age is one year. There are other books that are similar to this one by David McPhail and I can't wait to read those as well!

By Ellybean
Peter Loves Penguin is a sweet short story about a little boy and his stuffed animal penguin. Through this story we are whisked away into the season of winter and get the privilege to see what Peter and Penguin happen do together on such a day. It provokes the thought and question to a child what they would do on a winters day with their friends, family, or loved special toy!I love the warmness of the story. We see a a long lasting and appreciative friendship between Peter and Penguin. We see them holding hands, waiting patiently for each other to get ready for an adventure, respecting each others ideas, being considerate, and working together. A wonderful visual of putting others first and showing love!The art style is very appealing and captures the story perfectly! The words in the story feature one to two sentences on each page and each sentence is only 3- 5 words. I feel this book would be most appropriate for infants all the way up to the age of four years old. The board book format is definitely appealing for children of the younger age range. Short and sweet but offers so very much!

By Mymcbooks
My Review: A story rhyme about Peter and his stuffed animal, Penguin. The story shows the love and friendship between them. When Peter wakes up, his Penguin gets up too. Peter looks out the window and knows that Penguin will need a scarf while he will need a coat and his boots. They love playing in the snow and building snowman. They are always there to help each other. And that is why Peter loves Penguin and Penguin loves Peter.Every little kid and adult can relate to this story because they have or have had a favorite toy they love or loved. I love the watercolor like illustrations which helps to bring the story to life.FTC Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from abrams Books in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion in any way.
