Description

It's time to meet your favourite characters – Penguin and Pup – in this laugh-out-loud caper from rising star Hazel Gardner and bestselling You're Called What? illustrator, Nikki Dyson. Giggles guaranteed.

Meet Penguin: he's thoughtful, kind and loyal. He can be a bit cautious with new things, and he's very sensible. Pup, on the other hand, is a fun-loving whirlwind! She always thinks big and sometimes gets a bit carried away...

Like lots of friends, Penguin and Pup like very different things. Especially when it comes to finding the perfect new addition to their family. All Penguin wants is something small and fluffy. Pup, in typical Pup fashion, thinks the bigger the better. A blue whale in a dress! A giant sloth! A unicorn! It's a recipe for disaster, and lots of laughter, but will they ever agree on a perfect pet?

Whether you are more Penguin, or more Pup, come along and let the giggling begin!
