Chris Haughton turns to Antarctica for an irresistible ode to family bonds and awesome mums.
“She’ll be back soon, won’t she?”
“She sure will,” says Daddy Penguin.
The sky may be dark over icy waters, but Mummy Penguin is off to catch some fish for dinner. As Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense, Mummy swims, jumps, and climbs up a slippery slope, barely avoiding a plunge back into the sea. Well done! There’s just one more hurdle to overcome, past some grumpy, just-awakened seals, before she returns to her anxiously waiting family. With a nod to the fascinating nature of penguin parenting, this boldly illustrated adventure from the creator of Little Owl Lost and Oh No, George! will have little ones happily on the edge of their seats as they root for Mummy Penguin.
Running time: approximately 3 minutes
