The irrepressible, ever-original Sandra Boynton introduces a brand new Boynton board book. Your Personal Penguin is a read-aloud, listen-along favorite for young children and the grown-ups who read to them. Fun to hold, the book tells the story of a slightly bewildered hippo and the loyal penguin who wants nothing more than to be his pal:
Now, lots of other penguins seem to be fine
in a universe of nothing but ice.
But if I could be yours, and you could be mine,
Our cozy little world would be twice as nice.
I want to be Your Personal Penguin.

Summary: Not Her Best
Comment: We love SB around our house, but my kids just could not get into this one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An endearing message.
Comment: Of all the Sandra Boyton books, this has to be my absolute favorite. I have read it to my little sister more times than I can count...we both have it memorized and whenever she wants me to read it to her...she just comes up and starts reciting it, "I like you a lot, you're funny and kind."
I love everything about this book...from the adorable drawings...the witty dialouge to the perfect ending. "Please?" My little sister has completely grabbed ahold of the idea of being a personal penguin and wants to be my mom's...really cute and touching! Buy this book...I cannot say enough great things about it...you won't be disapointed!! =]

Summary: We LOVE this book
Comment: My son loves this book. He listens to it intently and at the end where the penguin asks "Please?" he says "pees?" I'm going to buy another copy for my sister-in-law who loves penguins because it is such a cute book.

Summary: The hippo in this book is so nonplussed, it's hysterical
Comment: Basically, a short book about a penguin explaining his undying (kinda stalkerish, I must say) affection for a hippo.
Throughout the book, the hippo looks totally dumbstruck by all this attention.
If you're coming at it from a different angle, I guess it might be kinda creepy (the scene with the penguin shining a flashlight at the sleeping hippo comes to mind), but as my nieces know this is Not Really Appropriate Behaviour that just, to them, makes it funnier.
Found the song (downloadable... somewhere) to be a little uninspired though. *shrugs*

Summary: Penguins!
Comment: My daughter LOVES penguins. When I saw this after looking for any books at all with penguins I knew she would love it. She runs and grabs all her stuffed penguins when we are about to read it. It's such a cute book!
