Changes

The carefully crafted text is complimented by the colourful and clear pictures in Rob's distinctive style. Again, the pictures give a first impression of simplicity but there is incredible detail in almost every one, from the penguin's pirate outfits in the opening pages to the spectacular final page where the pirate's galleon has been transformed: eager young eyes will want to spend a very long time studying all the various activities in this theme park playground for penguins.

While the words and pictures both work well separately, it is the interplay between the two that give this book its five star rating. I couldn't resist smiling at the fact that Penguin Blue's pirate ship is, in fact, a little orange dingy and I chuckled when I first saw the picture explaining how it becomes ripped.
