Title: And Now for Something Different (from Curious George)
Review: This recently published, and now gone out of print, underappreciated book from the husband-wife powerhouse of Margret and H.A. Rey who created the immortal Curious George series. The descriptively named Whiteblack the Penguin is a host on the radio stations WONS in Penguinland. Having run out out of stories, he decides to go on a journey to find some more stories. And he does, driven by his desire to encounter new places and animals so that he can tell others about it (think Pico Iyer of penguins). Besides fantastic illustrations, including a cameo of the Man with Yellow Hat, this is an upbeat, optimistic story for children. My daughter, a Curious George fan, is now a Whiteblack fan.
