Review
“Yoons cute, boldly lined characters and graphic compositions tell the story in a series of spots, full-page images, and thought bubbles. This picture book, like many before it, proves that love comes in many forms.” —Booklist, on Penguin and Pinecone
“Crisp illustrations that capture a genuinely loving heart . . . a strong if whimsical choice for those separated from loved ones.” —Kirkus Reviews, on Penguin and Pinecone
“This delightful companion to Penguin and Pinecone (2012) presents another parable of friendship, this time with an exotic tropical crab. With her signature thick lines, pure colors and scratchy textures, Yoon creates a beach backdrop to showcase Penguins tender personality. Lesson learned: The magic of friendship does not depend on where you are or what you are doing—it is about being together and learning from each other.” —Kirkus Reviews, on Penguin on Vacation
“Yoons story of an unlikely interspecies friendship is both funny and sweet.” —Horn Book, on Penguin on Vacation
