One of our favorite books is Peter the Puffin by Petr Horáček. The story of that little bird with its endearing little head was love at first sight. The story has something disarmingly honest about it and is a pleasure to read to the kids. The multicolored illustrations in mixed media (watercolor, poster paint and collage) make the prints fascinating to look at.
De short, simple text in combination with the beautiful colourful pictures really appeals to our youngest mini-monsters. They get cought up in the search for Peter's best friend Paul. This book has been nominated for Picture Book of the Year and it is not without reason that it is in the Picture Books Top 10 of 2013!
3 magnificent stars for Puffin Peter, from our youngest listeners and their readers!
