Especially the illustrations on the left side of every page that tell even more of the story and fill in all its gaps!

I have to check this one out. I have a gut feeling my daughters will relate to it as much as you and your kids have been able to - thanks to the several moves in our lives. A penguin to convey the feelings and emotins - wow! One can&#39;t get enough of penguins, right? <br />Great one for Antarctica!!!
