Edna the penguin, who lives in the Antarctic, wants to see something else in her life but white, black, and blue. So she goes on an expedition to find that something else. On Antarctica there aren't many other colors. Portis's illustrations are simple yet jump off the page. The book could be a tie in to talking about the Antarctica Scott Base, which is where the author has based the book. Portis's other books, Not a Box and Not a Stick were winners with this reviewer, and so is A Penguin Story.
