I absolutely loved this book. I
loved it so much I read it to my husband. He laughed and said I was being a
teacher. However, he loved it as well. I am a sucker for stories that rhyme.
They did a wonderful job with that. The story is of a young penguin born with a
tuft of rainbow colored hair on top of his head. His parents are so proud of
him and name him Spike. Spike is not fond of his hair and tries everything he
can to make his rainbow colored hair go away. The lesson to be learned is that
we are all different and we don’t need to be the same to fit in. This is a
wonderful book to teach such a wonderful lesson geared for the youngest of children.
The Illustrator, Zuzana Svobodova is a wonderful artist. The
colors she chose are soft and colorful, except for his bright tuft of hair. The
penguins are cute and cuddly. I kept thinking that I would love to have a
stuffed penguin who looked just like Spike. I personally think it would be a
beautiful addition to go with the book. I will still share this with my
grandchildren. They love reading them even if they are older and read on their
own. It is all in how you present it to them. Highly recommended to parents,
grandparents and teachers.
I think this would be a great book for my great granddaughter!
