A perky penguin stars in this brilliantly colored, cleverly designed book with a fun pull-the-tab finale. With the Crayola-like charm of young children's drawings, Petr Hor??cek illustrates a typical day in the life of Flip the penguin - leaping out of bed, pulling on mismatched socks, kicking a soccer ball, and strolling cheerfully through a storm with a rainbow umbrella. But something peculiar is happening to Flip - his pages keep getting smaller! It all makes sense in the end when he pulls up a charming patterned quilt - made up of the edges of the previous pages - and drifts off to sleep under a pull-the-tab twinkling sky.
My daughter and I really enjoyed reading this book. Petr Horacek has a very good way with communicating an exciting story to very young children. The illustrations are wonderfully vivid and really encoureaged participation from my daughter. The pages that kept getting smaller and smaller also helped to keep her interest. Any book by this author comes highly recommended from our family!!
