We received this book to give an honest review.
K and I read this at bedtime and I thought he would enjoy it because not only does it deal with animals but it also has a little detective work in it. P.I. Penguin gets a case to solve something simple which through a few clues he learns where Bella the dolphin's bottle has gone.
The book has a lot of rhyming which I think is a good idea but I am not too big of rhyming all the time. Though that is just me some kids might like it I know K did.
The pictures are very well done and go wonderful with the story.
K said he liked it but wanted more clues as to who took what didn't belong to them and he wondered if P.I. Penguin would ever find his parents. I told him we would have to read more to find out.
I really liked how the author had a glossary with words that some children might not know and the definition of the word. I think it is great to expand their vocabulary and this is a good book to do that.
Bec J. Smith is the writing team of science fiction and fantasy novelist, Rebecca Laffar-Smith and her two children, Kaylie and Joshua. Rebecca established Aulexic, a small press publishing house specialising in early readers for children with language and literacy acquisition difficulties, because she wanted to inspire her own son to love reading. What better way to do that then to work together to create books he would love and to share those books with other children just like him!
