Penguin Problems

Hilarious ... an Antarctic take on A Christmas Carol" Evening Standard "A
philosophy manual for readers of all ages ... wonderfully original" Observer In
this hilarious first collaboration from Jory John and the multi-award winning
Lane Smith, a penguin levels with human readers about what penguin life is
really like ... and it isn't all fun and games! Have you ever considered
running away to Antarctica? Of course you have! Because it's a land free of
worries and responsibilities! Think again, my friend. This penguin has come to
tell you that his life down there is no picnic. For starters, it is freezing.
Also, penguins have loads of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to
find your mum in a big crowd of identical penguins? A feel-good read-aloud for
readers of all ages, and the perfect Christmas gift.

Review

"Quirky and funny, and with a memorable message, this picture book is
amusingly different." Carousel A small philosophy manual for readers of all
ages is provided by the wonderfully original Penguin Problems [...] Lane Smith
makes his penguins look like worried clones, which adds to the humour of the
whole." --Observer
