* "Little Penguin, who has the self-proclaimed "soul of an eagle,"
wants to fly. . . . Judge successfully balances the humor in the
storytelling, the drawings, and the situations. Rendered in
watercolor and pencil and situated on a bright yellow background,
the illustrations perfectly fit this delightful and charming
book."-- "School Library Journal, March 2014, *STARRED REVIEW"
"Some are born to run; little Penguin believes he was "hatched to
fly." . . . the action has the tight comic pacing of a classic
cartoon, one with heart to match Penguin's own. Judge (Red Hat),
working in watercolor and pencil, takes her hero into the
sun-bleached sky and into the drink (oops) with aplomb, while her
finely delineated feathered cast does its endearing best to ignore
the obvious."-- "Publishers Weekly, February 2014"
