Penguin in Love by Salina Yoon (Bloomsbury Publishing)
It's currently chilly enough to be penguin weather. With Valentine's day (which also happens to be International Book Giving day - what an awesome combination) fast approaching, our thoughts turn to love and romance.
Just like the cute little penguin fellah who is the central character in this book. Penguin is a happy little soul, but sometimes as he sits out on his ice floe, he wonders what it would be like to have someone special to cuddle up to.
Penguin one day finds a mysterious bootie on the ice. Who does it belong to? Perhaps it's the love of his life? So penguin sets out to search for the missing bootie's owner. While on his travels he rather generously knits up a storm, keeping the antarctic animals warm and cosy with his woollen crafty skills.
Meanwhile on another ice floe not too far away, a lovely girl penguin is doing the same...are the two ever destined to meet?
A warm, cuddly, fuzzy and lovely little book that'd be perfect to snuggle up with, along with your loved ones. Don't miss Salina's other fab penguin books!
