The books in the Penguin Pete series are great! My son (who will be 3) has enjoyed these book for over a year. However, they are meant for children older than this. My son is fascinated with animal books and stories and we read bigger kid books to him. He still enjoys them.

In this cute little story we hear about all sorts of adventures done by Pete the Penguin before he learns to swim with the other penguins. He flipper skates, builds snow penguins, plays with other penguins, and tries to learn how to fly.

This book is filled with really cute, cuddly and loveable illustrations. The penguins are very round, and pretty much egg-shaped, but what makes the illustrations really cute is the fuzziness (the penguins look like balls of fluff) and lack of definition between everything- almost like a beginning watercolor. This style for the illustrations really suits the story, which is told well and flows nicely. A very good book.

Every since my grandson went to the Museum of Natural History he loves Penguins - I got this book for him and he really enjoys it - he is 3 and thought it very sad at first that Pete did not like to swim, but in the end found out how much fun it is. Well written and great illustrations.

I've purchased the entire series in Spanish to enhance my comprehension of the language. They're enchanting stories, even for an adult likemyself. The illustrations are magical to boot!

I had known of this book for a long time. It is a sweet book that may not be technically correct about penguins but it is so sweet it is irrestible. I love the pictures.
