    My son loves penquins, so I found this book on Amazon. From the preview, it seems very funny and the illustration is cute.

    When we received the book and started reading, it's fun in most of the part, but I didn't expect there is one page" lion eat the little boy because the boy's being too noisy" (In the picture is the lion ate the boy with the boy's legs hanging out of lion's mouth" ... The impression is a little bit scary for a 3y/o kid (Though the drawing is in a cute way).

    Except this part, my son still likes to read this book sometimes.

A quirky new tale from a rising talent — in which a bossy little boy receives a surprising comeuppance.

When Ben rips open his present, he finds a penguin inside. "Hello, Penguin!" he says. "What shall we play?" But Penguin says nothing. Even when Ben tickles its belly, sings a funny song, does a dizzy dance, stands on his head, sticks out his tongue, and resorts to increasingly rude and drastic measures, Penguin makes no response. What will it take for Penguin to say something — or for Ben to understand what Penguin has to say? Fresh, spare illustrations bring whimsy to this wonderful tale, in which a silent Penguin turns marvelously eloquent and a little boy finally gets his heart’s desire.
