Reviews
"A Penguin's Quest, is all about believing and the determination to follow a dream no matter how difficult it might appear.

"An adorable story that made me feel like a child again with its cute and funny choice of language, like "penguin traffic" and "Ms. Penguin Lady" ... entertaining, motivational, and educational, A Penguin's Quest is highly recommended for your children. It's easy to love this endearing picture book!" -- Foluso Falaye / Readers Favorite 5 Stars
"Engaging, with deft characterization and low-key humor ... there is just enough impossibility to keep the reader's disbelief suspended ... rich in interest, information, and life lessons, leavened with wonder ... the second-best thing about this book is the fine balance of its elements. The best thing about it is the ending. I recommend to anyone who knows a curious child -- or just likes penguins and enjoys a good story." -- Francis Mont / Readers Favorite 5 Stars
