YAY! Out now in paperback… ‘Clive Penguin’ has been cheering up classrooms, libraries, bookshops and bedtimes aplenty. Coming from a similar school as the seriously famous ‘I Want My Hat Back’ by Jon Klassen (Walker Books) and ‘The Cat Who Can’t Be Bothered’ by Jarvis (Frances Lincoln Children’s Books/Quarto), even Oliver Jeffers, this is absolutely worthy of joining the ranks of both clever illustrative and textual quick wit fun!!
In this chilly Antarctic tale, Clive, a penguin, declares that he’s freezing, even from the middle of his huddle!! He dreams of neon orange exotic islands whilst swinging on a hammock in the breeze, sipping a cocktail… so off he sets. Whilst on his ocean quest for his warm paradise, aboard a whale (of course) he finds the perfect neon orange solution to all his icy woes… I’ll let you discover this for yourselves, it’s a hoot. Stunning illustrations… also LOVE the additions of shooting stars and aurora borealis!
Love the little seagull pal side-story going on all throughout the book. I’ve loved reading this myself, but especially out loud to VERY giggly preschoolers. Bloomin’ brilliant!!
