Clang!
£7.99
What happens if you’ve lost Penguin? If you’ve searched in all the usual places, including under the bed, and then ‘in the pond‘ but there’s no sign? It might be that Grandad takes his torch and you step downstairs to examine ‘the old bath- the tangled-up clothes dryer and in the dressing up box‘. However if there’s no sign of her at all, might it be time to set sail across the ocean?
You’ll need to ‘bash- and clang-, knot- and string-‘ alongside ironing the tea towels and ‘splic[ing] the mainbrace‘ Thereafter you’ll hit the oceans on a desperate adventure. It seems there are pirates and submarines and icebreakers ahead. Yet Penguin? Where might she be?
Bookwagon loves Sam Usher’s style evident in every picture book to which he’s contributed. It’s deft, light, beautiful and so animated. Then again, within his series with the boy and Grandad, we step into realms of imaginative possibilities, wonder, and adventure. It feels as though we’re aboard, examining maps and compasses, completely committed to the course.
We love Clang! We recommend this wonderful picture book to every reader. What’s more, we implore you to get to know the other adventures, too.
