sweet by Karmel F. Evans (Buffalo Center, Ia.)  5 Stars

The book 365 penguins was very entertaining and cute. I tried it out on my grandchildren and they were very interested and sat still and they are only one and three. I bought it with entertaining them in mind and it was A Okay.

This book exceeded my expectations, I thought that "math" is fun might be a hard sell, I was wrong by Delaney (WI) 5 Stars
November 14, 2008
On New years day a penguin arrives with a note - I am number one, please feed me. Well it's strange, but on day two when another arrives, it's a little silly. But by day 7 the family recieving the penguins is getting a little frantic. By the end of the first month you have how many penguins? And February only has how many days? So by the end of February how many penguins do they have? How will they name them, how will they keep them (stack them, sort them, house them), how will they feed them and how much will it cost? Math is everywhere, but so are the silly penguins doing goofy things.
By December 31 the "mysterious" sender of Penguins arrives and is relieved to see that they all arrived safely, including Chilly the blue footed penguin. The Uncle gives you an ecology lesson and takes all but one penguin when he goes, and life returns to normal, but on January 1 a new surpise is waiting at the door.
The book is oversized 16 x 12, and the artwork is fun in retro blue, orange, black and white. My son thinks its a riot, he's 7. He likes to look for Chilly in the pictures, he likes to come up with names for the penguins, and he likes to count them and add them up.
This book definately sparks an interest in math, but it also lights up the imagination. We also have talked about what would be fun to get every day of the year. My son and I like our books with birds and this book is helping him to gain a little more confidence with numbers, and he sees now that numbers are every where. It's fun, I was blown away with how much he likes this book.
I think you could extend the ages on this book up to 9 or 10 because of some of the math concepts.

The coolest book my mom ever gave me 5 Stars
November 14, 2008
I take this book with me everywhere. I like to count the penguins, I like to name them. I only have 7 penguins and they aren't real. I read this book with my Papa and we laugh about how 365 penguins must smell, and we make up silly names. I'm not that good at math, but maybe if my teacher got some penguins in our classroom we would all be real smart.

365 Penguins by jp grandma (wisconsin)  2 Stars
April 09, 2008
This is a typical "here's a cute book about penguins, but first we want to slam our agenda down your throat."
Nice story until they force their message across about the global warming, which is a total misconception.
I bought this for someone who loves penguins. We read it on Christmas morning and threw it away. Not even garage sale material.
