This book seemed really random. As an adult I can see how it all ties together when I stop and really think about it. However, it’s lacking some adequate flowing. I did like how it mentioned aspects like affirmations, quick judgements, and kindness. I wish it went in better depth.

Very cute. Pictures were great, puffy was adorable. I liked the moral-you can’t judge someone’s abilities by their looks but I did feel the story was a little choppy and didn’t flow. Like I felt I missed pages.

I chose this book based off of its cover - I love a good penguin picture book! Very cute illustrations, and a good message in the end. But the title doesn't really match the plot.

Pete and Suzie and the Party Penguins is a cute picture book about not judging a book by its cover. The illustrations definitely won the day on this one, and Puffy the penguin was absolutely delightful. Great lesson for a picture book, and fun environment and illustrations to make it more memorable!

Thanks to NetGalley, Samantha Ahearne, and Orion for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!

It wasn't bad at all but neither was memorable. I think it's enjoyable by a very young audience and that's not my case.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute. The illustrations were very detailed. In an electronic copy they seem very busy but that might be because of the small screen size. It will be a cute book for kids who like birds and penguins.

The illustrations in this picture book are wonderful and capture the emotions of a crowd superbly well. The book itself comes with a simple message of accepting others and yourself.

This is an adorable story about how we should not judge things simply because we don't understand them! We follow Puffy along as he shares his fears about the diving competition while others give him a chance. When Puffy does well in the sports day he shows us that new things can be great and we should give others a chance!

A really lovely picture book about a diving competition for birds. they are confused when penguins apply to take part, s they don't know anything about these birds. However, the penguins have a great surprise for everyone, by highlighting their prowess in the water. A really great fun read, which emphasizes friendship and not being too quick to judge others.
