Description
Winner of the CBCA Shadow Judging 2023, now in board book format for the littlest Frank fans!
Frank is full of ideas. Some are good and some . . . are not.
But when Frank gets a colourful idea in (and on) his head, will a few nervous penguins stop him from sharing it?
Frank is a penguin with ideas. Mostly terrible ones. That’s why his fellow penguins are nervous when he shows them his strange new creation. Something they’d never seen or expected to see in their cold and colourless Antarctic world — a red hat.
