Pippi the Penguin

Description

Pippi the Penguin is a charming tale by Catherine Veitch. It tells the story of Pippi, an emperor penguin who excels at finding food for her chick, Ella. Pippi is brilliant at swimming, sliding, and diving—so much so that the other penguins can barely keep up with her!

However, when Ella goes missing, Pippi realises that she needs the help of her colony, and it's time to share her skills.

Beautifully illustrated by Jean Claude, this simple tale introduces children to a range of ocean animals.
