Follow the adventure of Pipkin the curious penguin as he goes on an adventure of self-discovery into the sky. With the help of a wandering albatross, a monkey in a hot-air balloon, and a rabbit in a rocket, Pipkin goes all the way to the moon to discover just how high is the sky really is. “How High is the Sky?” takes readers along for the ride with Pipkin up past the birds, up past the clouds, up past the blueness, and all the way up to the moon. This book comes with a long poster included that illustrates the wonders of above, along with some interesting facts about the sky and outer space. This is an excellent book to encourage your child to ask questions, to be curious, and even to go out and seek answers!
Join Pipkin on some of his other quests of discovery with books such as “How Deep is the Sea?” and “How Big Was a Dinosaur?”
