Summary

A perky penguin stars in this brilliantly colored, cleverly designed book with a fun pull-the-tab finale. With the Crayola-like charm of young children's drawings, Petr HoraYcek illustrates a typical day in the life of Flip the penguin - leaping out of bed, pulling on mismatched socks, kicking a soccer ball, and strolling cheerfully through a storm with a rainbow umbrella. But something peculiar is happening to Flip - his pages keep getting smaller! It all makes sense in the end when he pulls up a charming patterned quilt - made up of the edges of the previous pages - and drifts off to sleep under a pull-the-tab twinkling sky.
