In Peter The Picky Polar Bear by Kieshia Chun and illustrated by Charlotte Watkins, a question repeatedly pops up within Peter’s day as he encounters different persons. The answer to the question is repeatedly the same. The alliteration and repetition within the line give an upbeat tempo to the line that facilitates an up-tempo oral delivery of the story.
Equally engaging are the bold, bright and expressive illustrations that aptly capture the range of emotions displayed by Peter. Watkins captures Peter’s expressions of dislike, dismay, and sheer delight. Peter’s short sentences and his simple perky responses reflect the responses of children as they wrangle with the development of their oral expressions to find words that would adequately convey their feelings to a concerned listener.
Children will find in Peter’s action a mirror to themselves, and the morale of the story proves rewarding for both children and parents. The book is ideally suited for children two to five years old. Peter the picky bear is a skillfully etched character who is a lovable, frank, and harmless creature. Peter’s rigid stance against eating fish poses a problem for his parents and it is his friend the penguin who saves Peter from starvation.
