"Joe’s first-person narrative is childlike, yet wonderfully evocative. . . .The artwork glows with color and warmth. A winner for winter storytimes." —Booklist

Joe couldn’t be more surprised to find his friend Osbert knocking at his front door—AWOL from the zoo—with an invitation to a South Pole extravaganza under his wing. Since penguins can’t fly, and Joe has a helicopter from Santa, the boy is soon piloting a bunch of penguins on a long journey south. But when Osbert ignores the southern lights and only has eyes for a penguin named Aurora, Joe starts to worry. Will he ever get back in time for his own family’s Midwinter Bash?
Featured/recommended
—A Patchwork of Books
Elizabeth Cody Kimmel is also the author of My Penguin Osbert, among many other works of fiction and nonfiction for children and young adults. She lives in Cold Spring, New York.

H. B. "Buck" Lewis, the illustrator of both Osbert books, also designs characters for animated feature films from Dreamworks, Disney, Blue Sky/Fox, and Pixar, among others. He lives in Los Angeles.
