The Penguin Family: A Collection of Stories for Children is a portrait of a large, loving family. The book is comprised of ten stories about Mummy and Papa Penguin and their thirteen children and extended family. This is an idyllic look at childhood in a nuclear family made up of big personalities. We see the little penguins learning to read, bake, help with the new baby, and the like. It's a little bit Piggle Wiggle, and a little bit Wodehouse (the author's favorite writer).
These are stories for bright, imaginative children of engaged, loving parents. The book is designed to be read aloud for maximum enjoyment.
