Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-02 00:00:00 Blake Brett This is definitely a good start for New Year: At New Year's day at 9 AM, there is a knock on the door and the family gets a penguin as a present. For each day, they get a penguin until it gets out of control! The illustration is unique using just few colors and minimal patterns compared to other kid's books. I really love how every single penguin is illustrated and how freely each scene is presented on the pages. While the penguins are similar, there are some differences when you look closely. Also, it's a nice approach for kids to get familiar with numbers I guess. I actually just bought this because I like penguins and just thought they were lovely, haha.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-05 00:00:00 Smg Boss I have never met the authors or illustrators of this super fine children's book - but nevertheless they chose to illustrate me in as the father. I know that sounds strange, but all my friends, enemies, and a couple of strangers off the street have told me that without a doubt the father in the book is me. The hairstyle is the same, the glasses are the same, and what is even more creepy, the clothing is the same. I felt like they have been observing me behind trees, trashcans, questionable movie theaters to capture my essense. Happily this is a very nice oversized book for kids. And kids love this book. It's about a family that takes one penguin into their household, and then another shows up - and then another - till 365 Penguins in total invade the father's household. Sounds Kafka and creepy like - but it's an enjoyable adventure!
