A Cup for Everyone by Yusuke Yonezu; adapted by Kate Westerlund

Yonezu, Yusuke. A Cup for Everyone, adapted by Kate Westerlund. Penguin, 2008. $15.99. Pucca was a penguin and his father made special cups for a living, but business wasn’t very good. So he packed up his cups and went to sell them in other villages. Pucca played with his father’s clay and made figurines that looked like his friends. Then he made a figurine cup that looked like Ms. Parrot. Soon everyone in town wanted a cup that looked like them. When his father returned there was plenty of business and no need to leave again. The illustrations are colorful and appealing. Children will enjoy choosing their own special cup. EL-ADVISABLE. Samantha, Public Librarian.
