Review

Walrus is back this time with penguin as his sidekick. They escape from the zoo one rainy day and manage to stay one step ahead of the zookeeper as they change disguises to fit in with their current situation throughout the day. No one seems to notice them as they drive a taxi, sit in the park, conduct an orchestra and take part in a play, and other adventures. An accident during one of their activities lands walrus in the hospital where he meets a special nurse, leading to the story ending happily ever after. This is a good "search and find" book for very young children. They will laugh at the adventures of walrus and penguin and want to look through the book again and again.

Overall Book Score: very good
