March 2018 Book of the Month |  A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month March 2018

A story of friendship and empathy, of escape and return, or teamwork and reconciliation, this picture book is thoughtful and moving, and features some hugely appealing characters. Oliver and Ruby and little dog Patch love going to the zoo, and make special friends with a baby rescue penguin, Peep. They can tell he misses his old home and friends, and when he goes missing they immediately set out to find him. It’s not easy, and they have to learn to work together before the little runaway is returned to a warm welcome from the other penguins. Claire Freedman’s story provides lots to think about and Kate Hindley’s illustrations are full of warmth and energy, each page a treat (don’t miss the giant tortoise!).  ~ Andrea Reece

A wonderfully warm story about friendship as favourite characters Oliver and Patch together with their friend Ruby pay a visit to the Zoo. They love meeting all the animals! There are meerkats and tigers and they especially love the penguins. But when a little penguin goes missing the three friends soon find that there is more to visiting to zoo than just looking at the animals. A touching story with a satisfying resolution.  ~ Julia Eccleshare
