One Hot Penguin
Neal Layton
(Young Corgi)
80pp, 978-0552559027, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
In the middle of a very hot summer, Phelan goes with his mother to the zoo wearing a new green anorak. While he shares ice cream with the animals there, a quick-witted penguin sees this anorak as a chance to escape from the zoo and go to the South Pole. What ensues is a highly amusing tale with plenty of mishaps en route; children will identify with much of what happens, and adults should take note that telling tall stories to children can sometimes have unexpected consequences!
