Description
“Hilarious ... an Antarctic take on A Christmas Carol” Evening Standard
“A philosophy manual for readers of all ages ... wonderfully original” Observer
In this hilarious first collaboration from Jory John and the multi-award-winning Lane Smith, a penguin levels with human readers about what penguin life is really like ... and it isn't all fun and games!
Have you ever considered running away to Antarctica? Of course you have! Because it's a land free of worries and responsibilities! Think again, my friend. This penguin has come to tell you that his life down there is no picnic.
For starters, it is freezing. Also, penguins have loads of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mum in a big crowd of identical penguins?
A feel-good read-aloud for readers of all ages, and the perfect Christmas gift.
