Penguin   by Polly Dunbar (2007)

While reading this, I spent some time with the kids puzzling out the picture language of the penguin at the end of the book.  After we had figured out what it meant, I said to my preschoolers, "You just READ those pictures!  Did you know that you can read pictures just like you read words?  Great job!"  Then to the parents: "reading pictures, just like reading letters,  is a kind of print awareness that helps build literacy skills."
