Our Review Panel says...

I always recommend this book to families with a new a baby on the way. It can be a tricky time for siblings but ‘The Night Iceberg’ is a magical, night time adventure with a subtle message about learning to share. Tofta wants the night iceberg to be just for her but thinks again when a group of penguins show up. This story gently unpicks the anxieties siblings may be having in a beautiful and delicate way. You won’t be able to resist the yellows and blues of this magical, snowy world.
