No Ghost under My Bed

No Ghost Under My Bed

by Guido van Genechten

Summary: When a little penguin named Jake becomes afraid of strange noises in his room at night, he calls his father to check out the situation, and when everything from the curtain to the wardrobe and toy box has been checked, Jake feels comforted that all of the ghosts are gone and prepares to sleep.

This book is wonderful for children who are reluctant to sleep on their own, afraid of the dark, or afraid of the noises of the night.

Polar Opposites

by Erik Brooks

Summary: Ambrose, a polar bear, and Zina, a penguin, are very different but they can still find ways to meet in the middle.

This is an adorable book about how despite differences, animals, or people can be friends. I also like it because as a child I was confused between the “North Pole” and Antarctica.
