Kalte Füße, kratziger Schal, klobige Stiefel und rutschiges Eis: Der Winter kann ganz schön nerven. Der kleine Pinguin ist jedenfalls kein Fan der kalten Jahreszeit. Aber eine Sache gibt es dann doch, die ihm richtig viel Spaß macht … Ein Bilderbuch für alle kleinen und großen Wintermuffel – mit großartigem Witz gezeichnet.
Dan Tavis began doodling in his first math class in elementary school and was inspired to paint upon discovering Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. Watterson’s work remains a major influence. Dan is the illustrator of Common Critters (Tilbury House, 2020), The Whale Fall Café (Tilbury House, 2021), and Fluffy McWhiskers and the Cuteness Explosion (Simon and Schuster, October 2021) and has a passion to illustrate characters that emotionally connect with the viewer and tell stories through visual narrative. Dan creates illustrations with watercolor, ink, and digital media.
I found this while perusing the bookstore and the quirkiness of the penguin‘s face caught my eye.
The story is that of a little penguin hating winter for various reasons. But there are also good reasons to LIKE winter.
A simple story, but full of heart and told in a HILARIOUS way. Seriously, I know a lot of picture books but I think this has THE best / most expressive illustrations.
See what I mean about how expressive the illustrations are? I didn‘t just chuckle but laughed out loud and didn‘t even care that people kept giving me weird looks. ;D
Absolute recommendation for EVERYONE so this is coming home with me!
