Customer Reviews

Beautiful photographs - very engaging

This book was highly recommended to me by a clerk at a small children's bookstore who told me that for some reason toddlers seem to find it very captivating. I bought it for my daughter for her first birthday, and she loves it. The photographs are beautiful and there's something about the penguins that seems to really grab my daughter's attention. At 14 months she seeks out this book and will "read" it to herself. I agree with the reviewer below who said that the "penguins pooping" page is a real attention-grabber for the toilet training set, and though it could be gross, something about the fact that it's a penguin who's pooping is strangely charming and humorous (if you can stomach that type of thing!). Overall five stars for a book that my daughter and I both love - a great thing for a parent who has to read it over and over.

Engaging book for any toddler

"Busy Penguins" is one of my 18-month-old daughter's favorite books. The photographs are incredible, and the text has a gentle rhythm that she finds engaging.

A delightful board book!

The fascinating photos and playful text will surely make your kid smile as they get a closer look at penguins doing various things. Penguins are so cool!

Great photos

This book combines very good photos of penguins with action rhymes. Simple text with depictive photos. And while most civilised adults will say "Yuck!" at the Penguins Pooping page, it will very likely fascinate the toddler for whom that is a very important part of his life.
