I read this with my eight year old to get her reaction, and she loved the story. It's about a penguin who goes on a quest to find Santa, so she can say Thank You for her gift of a compass.My daughter loved the illustrations, and she actually grabbed a stuffed penguin to hold while we read. As the story went on, she "acted it out" with her own penguin - very cute.We read it on Kindle, and at one point I lost my place (my own error.) My kid covered her eyes so she wouldn't see what would happen - so that shows me that she really got involved in the story.She did point out that the word "motioned" was used a lot, so I guess she's taking after me - an editor and writer. Oops!At only three bucks, this is well worthwhile, since just about every page has a lovely picture. There is even bonus content on the author's website.(I was given a complimentary copy for an independent review.)
