Review
Annabelle at the South Pole has three companion titles, each shares an adventure highlighting one of the four siblings. Imaginative play is the author's primary focus when he sends Annabelle out the back door into the Antarctic. Each illustration reveals movement and emotion but it is the blue and white backgrounds that make the illusion believable. Young readers will giggle at the penguin antics and all siblings will recognize their family interactions. I love that Annabelle is reading a book about penguins when her brother places her under his power. Add to public libraries where snow falls in winter time.
