Simple language to talk about one day in winter for six little penguins and their mama. The illustrations are made from acrylic paint and cut paper collage.

Good art and a simple story about experiencing winter. Similar to Keat's "Snowy Day."

Cute, but I was disappointed because I loved the last book I read from the author so much ("Life.")

A cute book, but brighter colors would make it more interesting for sharing in a group setting.

Minimal text on the 2 page spreads, with simple illustrations, I felt it was too simplistic.
