(2) PS Visionary penguin Edna feels "there must be something else" besides her world's three colors: white ice, black night, and blue sea. Portis's simple story gains much from effective book design and clever illustration. Color-saturated pages reinforce the theme, emphasizing the monochromatic until orange arrives on the scene. An open layout allows for much engaging penguin activity and visual jokes.
