Little Penguins by Cynthia Rylant, illus. by Christian Robinson by Schwartz & Wade

Newbery Medal–winning author Cynthia Rylant and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Christian Robinson pair up to tell this wintry story about five little penguins enjoying a snowy day.

Why we like it: Everybody needs cute little penguins in their lives.  This is a perfect story to celebrate all the fun that comes with a wonderfully white and cold snow day. Young children will follow along as little penguins frolic in the snow. They’ll delight in the penguins bundling up, racing down hills, and then finally warming up. Great story for learning about winter.
