At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket USD $16.95 978-1-55337-885-3 Paperback USD $7.95 978-1-55453-268-1 Grades: PreSchool to 2 Ages: 3 to 7 Character Education self-respect The Arts Visual Arts critical thinking about visual arts Reading Levels: Fountas & Pinnell I Grade Level 1/2 Reading Recovery 15-16 Accelerated Reader 2.7 LG © 2006 4-color 9 x 9 32 pages	Moving all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole isn't easy for the young penguin Augustine. Uprooted from her home, she misses her friends, her grandma and grandpa and her old bedroom. There are all kinds of unfamiliar faces at the North Pole, and everything looks strange and different. When it's time to go to her new school, Augustine gets cold feet. But with the help of a few colored pencils and some inspiration from Picasso, this shy, artistic young penguin discovers a way to break the ice with her classmates and feel at home on the other end of the world. Augustine's penguinized versions of van Gogh, Munch, Picasso and others are a delightful way to introduce children to art. A clever, charming story told from a penguin's eye view, Augustine illustrates that art is all around us — and it is a language everyone understands. Reviews “Watt’s pencil crayon and acrylic illustrations will likely win over young audiences, while her clever art references may well engage older readers.” — Publishers Weekly, September 2006
