Penguin needs a vacation. He decides to go somewhere he's never been before: the beach. When he gets there, he tries to do all the things he does at home--ski, sled, skate--but he can't. Then he makes a friend, crab. Crab shows him all the things you can do on the beach--make sandcastles, surf, climb coconut trees. Penguin has a great time with crab! Then he has to go home because his vacation is over. Crab decides he also needs a vacation, so he goes with him to the arctic to try out all the things you can do in the snow.Great for preschool or toddler storytimes. Adorable story about a penguin who gets tired of the cold and decides to head for warmer climes. In the tropics, he's no good at vacationing - the sunny beach is not the place for skiing, sledding and skating, like he's used to. Fortunately, he makes a new friend, a crab who is able to show him the ropes. Penguin returns the favor by hosting Crab when he comes to visit the Antarctic. Endpages feature crabs on a beach... and crabs bundled up for the snow. Colorful full-bleed pages digital art with thick lines make the pictures easy to see from a distance. This is a natural pick for storytime.
