Rock the Penguin! The Ultimate Book of Penguins

Dive into the world of your favourite bird!

That’s right, the penguin. They’re so funny and so sweet. They look so cute when they’re waddling through the snow. They have such adorable chicks.
But there’s something you never hear anyone talking about: the fact that penguins can bite really hard, and they can whack you even harder with their wings.
Forget Happy Feet. This book is about real penguins. About penguins on the ice and penguins in the tropics. About extinct giant penguins and about little blue penguins who are very much alive. About penguins with hairstyles and penguins with wings for paddles.

Is it a penguin encyclopedia?
Hmm, sort of.
Is it a story book?
That too.
Is it going to make me laugh?
Yes, because there’s a great joke in it as well.

All eighteen species of penguin get a mention, but there’s one in particular that ends up in the spotlight. Here’s why: Joukje went to work at a penguin sanctuary in South Africa, where she got to know the African penguin personally. And it really was personal – not a single one of her fingers didn’t get pecked!

With a guest appearance by Rocky, a northern rockhopper penguin.
