Where is Home, Little Pip? by Karma Wilson, illustrated by Jane 
Chapman. McElderry, 2008. 978-0-689-85983-0

 From the author/illustrator team who brought us Bear and his friends 
in Bear Snores On and its many companion books comes a new character, 
Little Pip, in a timeless story of a lost baby searching for his home 
and parents.  When Pip chases a feather across the icy blue wintry 
landscape, he loses track of his home.  He searches and searches, 
inquires and inquires-of a mighty blue whale and a Kelp Gull and 
finally a sled dog-but all of these creatures can only tell Little 
Pip where their own homes and babies are (in rhymed quatrains).  Not 
until Little Pip thinks to sing the song his own parents have taught 
him is he reunited with his parents from whom he learns the 
additional lesson that wherever his family is together is 
home.  Evocatively illustrated in shades of blue, this book will find 
multiple uses in the library-from storytime to supporting units on 
families, penguins and the Antarctic. Suggested ages: 4-7.
