Neville’s Great Escape
Neville was a penguin known for being somewhat of a risk-taker.
He was brave, bold, and beloved by all. Until the day he was eaten by a whale. Or so it seemed . . . because that was only the beginning of the story. This delightful―and daring―tale is a companion to the award-winning and best-selling Frank’s Red Hat.
Reviews
"Fans of Avery’s earlier book will be delighted to see Neville back and more resolute than ever, his tenacity a model for times when it’s imperative to persist. Playful storytelling and art blend for a paean to the power of determination."Kirkus
"In this wonderfully sly follow-up to Frank’s Red Hat, readers get to follow Neville after Frank gifts him the titular red hat, which is what ends up attracting the killer whale in the first place. The inviting tone winks at the reader with a bit of meta-textual humor while never making Neville the butt of the joke—he is indeed brave, bold, and fearless, just not particularly adept at planning...Fans of Frank will be excited to see that Neville didn’t end up as a whale snack, and new readers will be eager to check out the other book."
"This is a very funny picture book with a (large) touch of the absurd... Neville’s Great Escape is a funny, insightful book with great illustrations. I especially like the furniture."
"As a companion book to super popular Frank’s Red Hat, this one is a cracker... Kiddos will have loads of fun with this one, just as they have with Frank."
