    About the Books
    Could A Penguin Ride a BikeCould a Penguin Ride a Bike?

    By Camilla de la Bedoyere; Illustrated by Aleksei Bitskoff

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Could a Penguin Ride a Bike? provides a fun introduction into the life of a penguin. By imagining animals in everyday scenarios readers can learn about their size, diet and other features. For example, what if a baby penguin came for dinner? Make sure he doesn’t eat everything! Chicks eat, and eat, and eat. An adult penguin eats about 50 fish a day, but a chick needs to eat about 200! That’s because chicks grow a thick layer of fat to keep them warm in the icy winter. The engaging question and answer format will keep young readers entertained and help them to understand and retain animal facts.

    Ages 4-7 | Publisher: QEB Publishing | 2015 | ISBN-13: 978-1609927349

    By Camilla de la Bedoyere; Illustrated by Aleksei Bitskoff

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Could An Octopus Climb A Skyscraper provides a fun introduction into the life of an octopus. By imagining animals in everyday scenarios readers can learn about their size, diet and other features. For example, what if an octopus went to a fancy dress party? She wouldn’t need to shop for a costume as under the sea an octopus can pretend to be a snake, a rock, or even a fish! The engaging question and answer format will keep young readers entertained and help them to understand and retain animal facts.

        The books arrived today. They will be read to the grandkids tonight and then be donated to our town library to be used as prizes for the summer reading program of which I’m a volunteer. Thank you so much!
