Review
Like any good concept book this title is designed to depict how up and down are opposite. The author/illustrator’s underwater environment is an excellent backdrop for the sweet story of two penguin friends. The use of dark blue in the background lends itself to telling a story about the animal and plant life under the ocean.
Kindergarten teachers will use this title for science discussion, while art teachers will want to share this unique lift-the-flap presentation with older students. Preschool age children will love the story and flaps.
Overall Book Score: very good
