How High is the Sky? by Anna Milbourne
Pipkin is a very small penguin who is always asking very big questions... but what he wants to know most of all is... How high is the sky? Pipkin and his friends fly in a hot-air balloon, journey in a space rocket and even walk on the moon as they try to figure out exactly how high the sky is. Will they ever know for sure? A sweet and beautifully illustrated story book which will give small children lots to talk about.
The question 'How High is the Sky?,' will be familiar to anyone who spends a lot of time with young childrenHow is such a question best answered? This picture book makes a good attempt by telling the story of Pipkin the penguin's exhilarating fantasy journey 'up into the blue'. The plentiful, repetitive dialogue helps keep up the pace and the pictures have great appeal, not least because the faces of the animals show their feelings so well. The splendid 'very tall poster', takes young learners further into the world of facts with some quality information. * Books for Keeps *
