The Chilly Penguin

In this sweet board book, a "so chilly" penguin tries to warm up, first by knitting a scarf ("Still chilly"), then by building a fire ("Still chilly") and finally by ice skating ("Still chilly"). Two wordless, double-page spreads follow, depicting the beginnings of a snow shower and a very chilly, lonely-looking penguin. The solution comes in an option that can be shared even when it isn't cold out: "What if my friend and I share a hug?" Unsurprisingly, this solution is "Mmmm. Warm and snuggly!" The Chilly Penguin is a quiet, heartwarming story, and a great winter read for young readers. --Clarissa Hadge, bookstore manager, Trident Booksellers & Cafe, Boston, Mass.
