'Penguin On Holiday' is without a doubt one of The Boy's most favourite books at the moment! And I have to say, he's not the only one who's found of reading it!
One day Penguin wakes up and realises that he's a bit bored of all the snow and normal snow activities, so spotting an ocean liner in the distance, he packs his bags for a holiday, waves goodbye to his Grandpa and sets off on his journey on an iceberg. Landing on a tropical island, he soon realises that all the activities which he normally likes to do don't work so well on sand. At a bit of a loss as to what to do, and beginning to feel homesick, he soon befriends Crab who helps him find new holiday activities. Soon it's time for him to return home and wave goodbye to his friend.
But is that the end of their friendship?
This is a really sweet story and one that is excellent for explaining to The Boy that there are different climates around the world, different animals who have adapted to live in them, and where these climates are. We've both really enjoyed reading this book and as it's coincided with my brother emigrating to Australia, The Boy is now eager to see a map of the world and find both of their locations!
'Penguin On Holiday' is published by Bloomsbury and is available as a hardback, paperback and eBook. Prices start from £5.39.
