Penguin

By Polly Dunbar

About Penguin

"This is a warm and charming story told without the cloying sentimentality that can mar books for this age group ... Dunbar's characterisation is a treat."The Bookseller

Ben is delighted when he rips open his present and finds a penguin inside. OHello, Penguin!O says Ben. Penguin says nothing. Ben tickles Penguin; he pulls his funniest face; he puts on a happy hat, sings a silly song and does a dizzy dance. OCan't you talk?O says Ben. Penguin says nothing. It isn't until a passing lion intervenes that Penguin finally speaks ... and when he does, Ben discovers something that was really worth the wait.
