Chili da Vinci by Jarrett Rutland

"While others do “penguin” things, Chilly da Vinci—self-declared inventor penguin, builds machines that don’t work…yet!"


Chili is a tiny penguin with big dreams. With him and some of his penguin buddies stuck on an ice burg away from home, and an Orca just waiting for them to be all out of ice burg, its up to Chili to find a way off (even if no one else thinks he can) especially since his inventions put them there!

Chili builds and builds and builds, even when his machines don't work. He keeps at it. Even after being teased for his attempts (and even for what he eats!) he keeps on trying.

This little book is great. Its story is thoughtful and well written, and its message is something all kids should be taught. The artwork is cute, and throws back to the book as a whole with its influence coming from Leonardo Da Vinci.
