The chaos, the mayhem!  Over the course of a year one family receives one penguin a day.  How many penguins is that?  Yup, 365.  This book spans some basic counting, days of the week, months, and the idea of a whole year.  There is even a little bit of addition and subtraction that we gloss over now but we'll kick back in when it's appropriate.


Penguins seem to still be popular and I think every kid I know likes them, especially cute ones named Chilly with blue feet.  There is a short environmental lecture at the end and I'm not thrilled about the suggestion that exporting species is a good idea, but it's a cute book about a big mess and right now I think that's all my child reads into it.
