Well Done, Mummy Penguin

From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful celebration of mothers set against an atmospheric Antarctic backdrop.

Mummy Penguin is off to find a fishy dinner for her family. She has to swim very fast, climb a slippery cliff – cu-crunch, cu-crunch, cu-crunch – and even tiptoe past some sleeping seals… Shh! All the while, Little Penguin looks on in awe and says: “Well done, Mummy Penguin!”

The icy – and treacherous! – Antarctic landscapes are breathtaking in this funny and exciting celebration of all that mothers do, and all that mothers are.

I am a huge fan of Chris Haughton’s picture books, they are clever, funny and always go down a storm with children. In his latest book, a devoted mum’s quest for food is beautifully portrayed in a fun, icy tale. A Word About Books
