PUFFIN PETER

🇬🇧 Description:

Peter and Paul are puffins and the best of friends. But one day Peter gets lost in a terrible storm, and Paul is nowhere to be found.

Reviews:

Full of bright color, Petr Horacek's PUFFIN PETER, with a gratifying, age-appropriate revelation, will resonate with the 2- to 5-year-old reading public.
—The Wall Street Journal

The short, streamlined text and large, bold illustrations increase this title’s value for group storytimes as well. Multiple layers and shadings of color give Horácek’s mixed media art a textured and dramatic fresco-like flair... The separated friends story, vibrant illustrations, and casual introduction to simple deductive reasoning will make this a hit with the preschool crowd.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

[Horácek's] beautiful mixed-media illustrations have vibrant, bold colors and simple shapes that will appeal to young listeners and also provide a few basic lessons on ocean life. A sweet tale of friendship and persistence.
