Reviews

Clear, full-bleed photos of penguins illustrate simple concepts in a pair of board book primers by Kevin Schafer: Penguins ABC, an Antarctic look at the alphabet with a mix of simple words ("D is for Dive") and more complex terms ("C is for Chinstrap penguins"); and Penguins 123, in which readers count up to 12 with rhyming couplets astride the appropriate numbers of penguins swimming, sliding and posing.
