Cute story, lovely illustrations
I really like this book. The story is cute and endearing, though it would help to have read the earlier books in the series first.

Cute book. Strange ending.,

Illustrations are cute. Story seems a bit child-inappropriate with it being a love story. However, I like that it teaches that a yellow beaked penguin and blue beaked penguin make a green beaked penguin (color mixing and genetics), but then the green beaked penguin becomes insecure about it's beak color. This issue is resolved in a strange and unsatisfying way on the last page by the dad distracting the baby penguin with an unclear trick. Seems like a nice opportunity to embrace differences but the author missed it. I have not read the other books and wonder if that would have helped.

The beak colors are a fun example of codominant gene alleles!
