Synopsis
From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful celebration of mothers set against an atmospheric Antarctic backdrop. Mummy Penguin is off to find a fishy dinner for her family. She has to swim very fast, climb a slippery cliff - cu-crunch, cu-crunch, cu-crunch - and even tiptoe past some sleeping seals... Shh! All the while, Little Penguin looks on in awe and says: "Well done, Mummy Penguin!" The icy - and treacherous! - Antarctic landscapes are breathtaking in this funny and exciting celebration of all that mothers do, and all that mothers are.
Reviews
Sharon
If you want 'penguin peril' with screams and gasps from your children, this is the book for you. Well Done, Mummy Penguin is a mini-Attenboroughesque tale of penguin family life. Quotes from the children (apart from screams!) include: "Awww that's just like my mum" H (aged 9); "That’s like my dad!" (Laughing- Y aged 9). A lovely wintery read for young and old, especially all those overworked mums.
