Interest Age 5-8 | In a nutshell: crowd-pleasing penguin story, perfect for newly independent readers
Jeremy Strong is a comedy genius, and this his new book for Barrington Stoke’s Little Gems series will have readers in stitches. Nellie Choc-Ice is a Macaroni penguin (look them up!), and her story is full of drama. Frightened by a submarine she jumps onto an iceberg for safety, but then drifts for such a long way that she ends up 12, 430 miles from home at the North Pole. Fortunately, the same submarine that so scared her is there to escort her home. Nellie’s adventure, and particularly the wonderful narrative voice, make this highly entertaining reading while there’s an important environmental message beneath the humour too. ~ Andrea Reece
