Sergio Makes a Splash!



Sergio is a penguin. Sergio loves water.  His class is taking a swimming trip, but Sergio is afraid of deep water. He has his floaties on and all of his friends are waiting... Will he jump in?

You'll have to read the book to find out. The book is so cute, the art makes imaginative use of only three colors (blue, orange, & black), and kids that are afraid of going into the pool (or used to be afraid) can relate. It makes for both a great one-on-one book and a fun read aloud.

Penguin and the Cupcake

Penguin is tired of eating fish so he's headed to the Northern Hemisphere for... cupcakes!

A hilarious story with some asides that make for great fun for adults and each of the characters makes for easy read aloud voices (at least for me). Art work, read aloud, and story all work. The kids I read it to laughed every time I read it this week.
