"I'm hungry! Fish are boring! I want something new. Something soft... and fluffy!"

Meet a little penguin who is super hungry but totally bored of eating fish. An older penguin recalls hearing of a fluffy creature called a 'bolar pear', so the little penguin sets off on an adventurous mission to find and eat this 'mystery' creature.

On arrival at the North Pole, the penguin can't see a polar bear anywhere and eventually turns back home, hungry as ever. Little does penguin know that an equally hungry polar bear is following right behind...

This story will have readers gleefully shouting 'it's behind you!' as this hilarious story unfolds. The reader can follow oblivious penguin on every step of its journey as it narrowly escapes being gobbled up by the polar bear.

I'm Going to Eat a Polar Bear is a delightful tale that will keep readers entertained with its humour and suspense.
