A Penguin Story by Antoinette Portis


Portis, Antoinette A Penguin Story. HarperCollins, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. A little peguin looks around and realizes that she is surrounded by black, white and blue. Against the advice of her friends, she sets off in search of a different something and returns for her friends when she finds that other color. A little interaction with humans, and Edna Penguin has something to always remind her that the world is not just black, white and blue. While the story may be a little far-fetched, Edna’s longing for something different is universal (the grass is always greener). EL – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
