Timeless, Familiar Tale with some Fact-Learning, too.

This durable, thick cross between a board book and a regular paged book for young children follows a familiar tale. Little penguin is born, doesn't follow parent's direction... gets temporarily lost... finds a wise creature of another sort who assists him in finding his way...begins losing feathers and then is refound and found out that losing his feathers is just perfect..Sounds like the lives of many of US, only in in Animal Sense as well as many other books and legends.The reason this book works is because it is timeless and you can engage any age child in conversation around the story, the illustrations, the situations the little Penguins is in which may be similar to the child's.I also learned a very fun fact right on the first two pages... so you might gain more than you think in reading this colorfully illustrated title.
