Summary from Bloomsbury
When
Penguin and Bootsy plan a trip in search of autumn, Penguin's little
brother, Pumpkin, wants to join in. But Pumpkin is heartbroken to
find out he's too little to go, so Penguin and Bootsy bring a special
surprise home to share a little touch of Autumn with Pumpkin.
Nayu's thoughts
This
is quite possibly the cutest book of 2014! The mega adorable style
illustrations warmed my heart and made me
smile. Penguin is full of character in the way he views and explores
the world. I totally understood the disappointment and frustration of
his younger brother to not looking for Autumn, because as a younger
sibling I had a lot of occasions where I was too little to do things. I'd have loved my sibling to surprise me by bringing what they
experienced to me.
I was so touched by Penguin's kindness and
generosity that I cried a little at the end – thinking of others is
an admirable quality. I'm delighted there are more Penguin adventures
– I'll keep an eye out for them & review them here when I read
them!
