Visit Texas via Penguins!

Second in a series from TK Publishing, this book released last April finds the traveling penguins in San Antonio, Texas. They team up with their cousin Frobby and explore various sites across the city including the Alamo. At 32 pages with full color photographs this is a charming children's guidebook for the Alamo city. The penguins look life like in the photos as they travel the city which is captured in beautiful color photos as well as text. The way it is done makes it look like they are really there and really exploring the various landmarks. Advertised as being appropriate for 3-8 year olds; it does appear that the text is beyond the capabilities of most in the younger age range. Despite that, with parental assistance, this can be a wonderful book that serves to educate and encourages natural curiosity. Kevin R. Tipple (copyright) 2007

Great book for those wanting to go to San Antonio

Reviewed by Brianne Plach (age 10) for Reader Views (10/07) Would you like visit the Alamo with the two of the most adorable tour guides? Cha-Cha and Zee are two sightseeing penguins who travel from their home in Washington, DC to the historic city of San Antonio. They are going on this trip to visit their cousin Frobby. Frobby speaks Spanish which is very practical since San Antonio is so close to Mexico. Some of the places that they visit are the River Walk, the Alamo and the Tower of the Americas. They go on a river cruise and to the little village known as La Villita. The pictures are colorful and beautiful with the penguins being implanted onto them. Just by reading "Cha-Cha and Zee Explore San Antonio," I would definitely want to visit San Antonio. This is a great book for anyone who has been, or will be going, to San Antonio. I hope that Cha-Cha and Zee go on many more adventure trips and Indigo Tyler writes many more books like this one.
