With their eye-catching style, use of colour, and the subtle ways in which they convey the emotions of the characters and the story, this is a book in which the illustrations add as much to the book as the text.

Children will enjoy predicting who they will meet next, based on Peter’s descriptions, and Horáček’s colourful illustrations will appeal to young and old. Puffin Peter is like a child in his attempts to describe Paul, and adults will empathise with the whale when he points out Paul’s distinguishing characteristic which would have sped up the search and reunited the friends far earlier. Working in pairs, encourage children to explore the picture, discussing their responses and working together to make meaning of what they see.
