PreS-Gr 1—Penguin finds another penguin to love when he comes upon a purple and green knitted mitten in the snow and searches for its owner. In her third "Penguin" picture book, Yoon's characteristic, digitally created artwork employs a simple, colorful design with figures outlined in thick black lines, making them clearly visible during storytimes. Yarn swirls around the pages and endpapers, creating hearts and spelling Penguin's friend Bootsy's name when a blizzard temporarily separates the pair. The spread picturing the storm will mesmerize readers as they gaze at the minuscule dots of snow. Purchase where the previous books have a following.—Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
