A heart-warming fable about a friendship and belonging from the award-winning illustrator Petr Horacek.A heart-warming fable about a friendship and belonging from the award-winning illustrator Petr Horacek. "I feel just like a penguin," says Blue Penguin. "But you're not like us," said the other penguins and they left him all alone., Poor Blue Penguin. Will he be able to convince the other penguins he is one of them after all? A moving and beautifully illustrated story from Petr Horacek, an illustrator described by the Washington Post as "the thinking tot's Eric Carle". You should see this image I have in my head. Singing your made up song about your white whale savior and going dramatically up a cliff to sing it across the sea all sad-like and all the penguins are listening to you!? Please. *rolls eyes*Petr Horacek's dreamy Blue Penguin [is] a nice enough story, but what really makes this book sing are Horacek's amazing illustrations, all ice and snow with occasional vivid sightings of an orange-coloured sun. The Independent on Sunday Far away, near the South Pole, a blue penguin as born ... 'Are you a real penguin?' asked the other penguins. 'I feel like a penguin,' said Blue Penguin ... 'But you're not like us,' said the other penguins." Group acceptance within the story hinges on seeing how someone is the same rather than different. I wish the other penguins would have decided to accept Blue Penguin because they realized the error of their ways rather — perhaps through Blue Penguin’s relationship with Little Penguin — than because they discovered he had a special ability. Nevertheless, his finally being embraced by his group was heartwarming. Na de superleuke Moppereend was ik zeker in de bui voor meer boeken van deze illustrator. Hij heeft een hele originele stijl. Plus ik hou van pinguïns! Dus tja, dit boek moest mee. Het gaat over een kleine blauwe (ja, echt) pinguïn die wordt geboren bij alleen maar zwarte pinguïns. De zwarte pinguïns zijn best gemeen want ze hebben nooit een blauwe pinguïn gezien. Ik vond het zo sneu voor onze kleine blauwe pinguïn. Hij deed alles wat pinguïns doen... en toch werd hij niet geaccepteerd door zijn kolonie (ik vind de Engelse naam veel leuker: waddle). Die arme pinguïn. Maar gelukkig komt er toch nog iets goeds, ik ga lekker niets verklappen maar wat was ik er blij mee. Wat was dat zoet zeg. Ik zat gewoon helemaal aww te gaan. Al moet ik zeggen dat ik vond dat diegenen wel iets meer moeite mogen doen.

Blue penguins are found right around the coast of NewZealand and southern Australia, but none closer to human activity than in Oamaru. The birds nest right around the harbour area and the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony offers a unique opportunity for you to observe the world's smallest penguin arriving home from their day at sea and returning to their nests. This story discusses social rejection based on deviation from the norm, and it depicts the loneliness that results in a very moving way. (Personally, I read the blue penguin as a metaphor for someone who has a birth defect affecting his/her appearance, but the color variation could represent any number of things.) So Blue Penguin is all alone and sad, and that's when he starts having dreams about the white whale. 'Look sharp, all of ye! There are whales here-abouts! If ye see a white one, split your lungs for him!' Now we start the problems. One of them is this whale Blue Penguin starts dreaming about. Another is how he turns into a sad little dramatic emo boy.

A Best Friend for Bear

Blue Penguin sings a sad song to the white whale. The music is beautiful, and another little penguin comes to listen. When they sing a new song together, all the penguins join them, along with the majestic white whale. But Blue Penguin doesn't need to be rescued now - because he has friends. There's a magical and luminous quality to the icy landscapes dazzlingly rendered by Petr Horacek in this sublime story on the theme of insiders and outsiders Red Reading Hub Horacek's textured, colour-rich artwork creates dramatically beautiful Antarctic scenes while the little penguin is a charmer. Books for Keeps This session is based on the story The little red hen. The difference being that in the tale the other characters holds exactly the same position – they don’t want to help.
