A Penguin Story

By Antoinette Portis

Edna the penguin knows the three colors she sees every day, white, black, and blue. But she just knows there has to be something else. Edna thinks and thinks, and finally sets out on a journey to find something else. Finally, she comes across something big and a color she hasn't seen before. She runs back and gets the rest of her friends. They are greeted by scientists wearing "something else." She is so excited and happy to have found something new. When they leave, she sets out once again in search of something else.

I really enjoyed this book. It has the main character as a very curious young penguin. Most children are very curious by nature but might not go on a journey just to find something they are not familiar with. This book has a lot of dialogue which really adds to the story. I thought it was a great book for wintertime!
