A kite can be an adventure, but it is always nice to be home.

Penguin's kite is on the loose! His friends try to help but they all get blown away to the jungle. They need a plan to return home to the cold. It is a story in rhyme which makes the story a quick read. There are also great moments to break and count together as a group.

This was charming! Probably would work better for preschool storytime than toddler, but one to keep in mind especially for penguin storytimes.

A penguin hanging on to a kite gets blown away, and some other penguins and a polar bear try to hang on and stop him. They get blown into a jungle which they decide that they are not suited for, and rig a canopy so that they can make their way home. I loved the illustrations and rhyming text in this one!

Another bedtime favourite.
A lovely book with great pictures, a fun story, a bit of counting and a cheeky monkey.

Not sure if the book is that good or if I just needed some comic relief at the end of a long day, but this cracked me up.

Great illustrations, but I didn't love the rhyming text. Why does it have to rhyme? The premise was decent.
