IF YOU WERE A PENGUIN

There’s no doubt that imagining flying underwater, singing duets, tobogganing, eating without dishes, and wearing fancy feathers will appeal to children. With this audio they will put themselves into a penguin’s feet and see how life takes on a whole new dimension. The Minors paint a detailed verbal and visual portrait of penguins and include fun facts as well. The production concludes with audio clips of penguin voices from the largest emperor to the smallest fairy. Antonia Bath is an unobtrusive narrator who lets the illustrations and her words carry the listener to another habitat. Her delivery is clear, her speed measured to provide moments for visualization and imagining. Gentle background music and sound effects provide atmosphere.
