Penguin and Penelope
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
When Penguin finds a new friend, Penelope, he does everything he can to help. "Let's get you home," says Penguin.
But the elephant herd is out of reach, across a too-big ravine, Penguin stays with the little elephant, keeping her company and looking for a way home. As they go, Penelope grows, and so does their friendship! Soon they learn what they have in common—how they both can fly —and their new perspective brings a way home for Penelope. But they won't part for long!
With simple text and bright, energetic art, Salina Yoon brings to life this endearing story celebrating unlikely friendships, the challenges of growing up, and finding your own way.

When Penguin discovers a lost elephant, he vows to help her get home. Marking the 10th anniversary of Yoon's Penguin and Pinecone (2012), this tale sees the popular character return for another story of friendship. After freeing Penelope the elephant from the mud, Penguin tries to help her find her herd. They eventually swim their way across a body of water, following tracks on the other side back to Penelope's family. The message--about the importance of trust in friendship and the value of staying connected despite distance--rings true. Adults sharing the story with children will feel a pang at Penguin's words to Penelope, "I'll never forget you either, because you're unforgettable." Penguin's scarf, ever the symbol of the gift of friendship, becomes Penelope's, tying the two together. Yoon's signature illustrative style is on display; with thick black outlines reminiscent of block-printed art, each page feels simultaneously simple and detailed. The shift of perspective to a bird's-eye view of Penguin and Penelope and depictions of interlocking elephant trunks "hugging" add richness to the storytelling. In the same vein as the other Penguin tales, this one is sweet and earnest and sure to resonate with fans and newcomers. Darling illustrations and a gentle storyline combine for a lovely tale about the bonds of friendship. (Picture book. 3-6)COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

PreS-Gr 2-Yoon's popular character returns for another heartwarming story of friendship and kindness. In this new story, the titular seabird, sporting his signature orange scarf, discovers Penelope the elephant stuck in mud. Penguin immediately helps her, and the duo set off to find her lost herd. As the story progresses, their friendship grows stronger. The pair eventually reunite Penelope with her adoring family, with the elephant now wearing Penguin's scarf, a sign of their unbreakable bond. Yoon's masterful storytelling is on full display, with text that is both moving and rewarding in its themes of connection and kindness. Similarly, her digital illustrations feature expressive characters and colorful scenery with thick black outlines; one notable spread that transitions to an aerial view of Penguin and Penelope swimming together is particularly breathtaking. VERDICT The latest installment of Penguin's adventures will be a treasured addition to all collections.-Olivia Gorecke
