Penguin is missing – still missing we’re told by the little boy narrating the story. He and Grandad look all over the house, but there’s no sign, not even in the dressing up box or under the forgotten bathtub in the cellar.

Spotting an old globe, the boy comes to a decision: with not a moment to lose, the two create a boat out of the bits and pieces in the cellar (including the bathtub) and set sail for the open sea. After a few misdirections, they find Penguin, and quite a few of her friends too.

Children will love the way the story leaves Grandad’s comfortable house and veers into wild adventure as the two sail on their search across the sea – beautifully rendered in Usher’s rolling watercolours - in their bathtub boat. Other satisfactions include the perfectly described relationship between the boy and his silent but wonderfully expressive Grandad.
