The sky may be dark over icy waters, but brave Mommy Penguin is off to catch some fish for dinner. As Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense, Mommy swims, jumps, & climbs up a slippery slope, barely avoiding a plunge back into the sea. There’s just one more hurdle to overcome, past some grumpy, just-awakened seals, before she can return to her anxiously waiting family.

With a nod to the fascinating nature of penguin parenting, this charming adventure is filled with love and life, and will have both you and your little one happily on the edge of your seats. Another winner from the always-amazing Chris Haughton.
