You have no idea how good it feels to be publishing the 20th review in this series. We are reading the books, it’s writing up the reviews that’s doing for us. Still, here we go.
Little Penguin dives in is the third of the three books that Liz of Me and and My Shadow sent over for us. It’s a lovely board book, meant I think to encourage children who are feeling fear at doing something new, but my kids got a bit hung up on the fact that the penguin is playing with the polar bear. That would be the older children of course, the youngest hasn’t been through Montessori training and doesn’t know that penguins and polar bears live on different continents. (She will do soon, as there’s at least one rant every time the book comes out!)
If you and your toddler can set that small continuity error aside (and I’d assume most toddlers can!) this is a lovely book, with bright colourful pictures and a simple message – give whatever it is that is scaring you a go.
The boring small print…If you don’t want to miss out on any of the news on the challenge, please sign up to my rss feed – there’s an email link over in the side, or you can sub with a reader. I’m also on twitter using the hashtag #100books and facebook.
If you want to donate, please feel free, there’s a link in the sidebar or you can use this one. If you’d like to join in with your own version of the challenge, please leave me a comment to let me know so that I can link to you. And also, the booklink above is an affiliate link, but it’s set up with its own tracking id, so anything bought via a 100 book challenge link is separate to those usually on my blog, and I’ll be donating that money through to Oxfam as well.
