I think as a mother you have to find a balance between introducing new books and re-reading favourites over and over and over. The re-reading helps with pre-reading awareness that text always stays the same and leads to that important early stage of reading a memorised book and the accompanying feeling of success "I'm a reader". The girl's penguins are cute - each penguin has it's own little personality. Thanks for your comment on my blog - I appreciate it, I left a question for you if you get a chance to return.

The girl’s penguins are cute – each penguin has it’s own little personality.

This is a real cliffhanger post. What 'something truly terrible happens' to the penguin and Ben?? I can't bear not knowing, so I suspect I'll have to track down this book to find out the truth.
