Penguins are so cute.
One Cool Friend

It's a little long, and I think the conceit goes waaaay over the heads of the little ones, but it's funny and cute and the pictures are inviting. It's like a short illustrated Mr Popper's Penguins, with a funny twist at the end with the dad.

Still adorable. I love how the story manages to deal with opposites, science facts, friendship, and the process of prepping/packing for a trip, without being long or cumbersome. Just an amazing accomplishment.
If You Were a Penguin
Wendell and Florence Minor
ISBN: 9780061130977
Variety of penguins in soft-edged surroundings, very like the Karma Wilson "Bear" series.
Hey, a new penguin book! Well, not new, exactly, but new to me! This one is straighforward and sweet, although to me, the ending felt more like a transition than an end. Lots of drawings of various types of penguins in action, with short snappy captions as to what they're doing (that presumably one would want to do if they were also a penguin). Adorable, easy to read, and low-stress for a final story with a wiggly and noisy group.
