"Caldecott Honor winners Rylant and Robinson
collaborate in this visually stunning depiction of winter in Antarctica, but
it’s really about winter fun anywhere."
~~ Booklist
Why 4 Roars? I liked the feeling of family that this book provided. Even in the cold of winter, Mama is there to help the baby penguins.
Who doesn't love a Mama that bakes warm cookies, and hands out sippy cups? I also like the thank you that implied the need to thank Mama for her help. The books ends with the five, baby penguins wrapped up tight for the night.
“Newbery Medal–winning author Cynthia Rylant and Caldecott Honor-winning, bestselling illustrator Christian Robinson pair up to tell this wintry story about five little penguins enjoying a snowy day.”
~~ Amazon Reviews
Connections:
A great little project that would be perfect with this book would be to cut snowflakes out of white paper. Simple, but great for younger readers.
