Geronimo

The brand-new HEARTWARMINGLY HILARIOUS children’s picture book from NUMBER ONE bestselling David Walliams. Illustrated by artistic genius Tony Ross.

The Penguin who thought he could fly!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The brand-new heartwarming and hilarious children’s picture book from number one bestselling author David Walliams. Illustrated by artistic genius Tony Ross.

Meet Geronimo – the baby penguin who has one dream and one dream only – and that is to fly!

But everyone knows penguins can’t fly… or can they?

With a little help from his dad and friends, baby Geronimo discovers that even the wildest of dreams can come true.

A delightfully topsy-turvy book with an uplifting message about following your dreams – another blockbusting classic from David Walliams and Tony Ross!

There are lots of funny pictures of penguins in this book, but please note any mention of ‘free’ penguins on the back cover is a joke and as such should be taken lightly.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Geronimo by David Walliams receives high praise for its humour and engaging storytelling, much like his other picture books. The book is noted for making pre-schoolers laugh and is often compared to the works of Aesop and Spike Milligan for its whimsical and rollicking nature. Walliams' illustrations and narrative style promise another bestseller, with his works being lauded as potential future classics and a fresh breath of air in children's literature.
