Penguin Huddle

Ross Montgomery and Sarah Warburton

(Walker)

It seems that on very cold nights, the penguins call for a Penguin Huddle. However what if there might arrive ‘one night‘ with ‘a gale that [blows] as hard as a herd of mammoths‘? Thereafter, what if this gale might freeze’ the wind to the mountain‘? Could it be that this huddle’s so tight that when they awaken ‘the next morning‘, the penguins are ‘stuck‘! Might it be thereafter that none of their friends might be able to help? Although the  snow hares might ‘heave and huff’ and the walruses ‘prise and puff’ could be that the huddle’s in a muddle!

It seems that this huddle’s destined to travel to ‘a place far, far away’, by ‘Iceberg Express‘ and ‘Whale Rail’ and ‘Albatross Airways’ to a ‘shining city‘. However, what if there is no one who seems to be able to help? Although there might be ‘thousands of different animals from all over the world‘ able to ‘lend a paw, hoof or flipper‘ this huddle’s stuck fast! Might it require the Doctopus to sort out this fracas?

Bookwagon adores Penguin Huddle. After Ross Montgomery and Sarah Warburton’s collaboration on the wildly imaginative Ten Delicious Teachers, we are delighted to receive and recommend this superb picture book. Not only are the pictures hilarious, detailed and so satisfying, but the story is inventive, funny and a joy. Altogether, Bookwagon loves and recommends Penguin Huddle hugely. What’s more, its message is perfect for a wintry night or two!
