(4) K-3 Little Penguin misses his friend, who lives on a far-off iceberg, so he crosses the ocean to reach her; each spread showing his course features a flap that expands his journey (e.g., "He swam above bobbing jellyfish... / and below a tickly octopus"). It's a cool concept, but the restricted palette of mainly grays, somber blues, and black grows monotonous.
