Five Little Penguins: A lift-the-flap Christmas picture book

Description

Five little penguins went out one day Over the hills and far away. Mamma Penguin said "Hurry back to me!" How many penguins can you see? Join the adorable penguins on a lift-the-flap walk through a winter wonderland. There's so much to see as Mamma Penguin and her chicks waddle through a frosty forest, skate down an icy river and toboggan down snowy slopes. Along the way, they meet all kinds of festive animals playing in the snow. But wait - the chicks are disappearing one by one... Whatever are they up to? Lift the flaps to find the chicks and discover a fantastic surprise ending. Based on the nursery rhyme 'Five Little Ducks', the second title in an all-new lift-the-flap series is perfect for sharing at Christmas.

Lily Murray (Author) Lily grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time talking to animals and making up stories. She has continued to do this in her adult life, and now writes both fiction and non-fiction books for children. Her titles include big books about dinosaurs (Dinosaurium), rhyming books about dinosaurs (The Dinosaur Department Store), stories about escapee hot dogs (Hello, Hot Dog!), and lift-the-flap books about chickens (Five Little Chicks).

When Holly isn't creating picture books or being Mum, you can find her under a pile of guinea pigs and an oversized lapdog.

'Five Little Penguins' by Lily Murray and Holly Surplice is a delightful and very beautiful children's Christmas book. It tells the story of five little penguins who hide from Mamma Penguin in lots of unusual places. It is a 'lift the flap' book which will add to the enjoyment of this book for little ones. There is also a sequence of numbers to count through and this will help your children to learn their numbers. The artwork is bright and colourful with beautiful pictures of wildlife and nature. This will be a book for little ones to read over and over again and I am sure it will be a firm favourite for bedtime reading. This was an absolute joy to read and look at and I know it is going to be a bog hit in the children's literature field. -- Melanie Greaves * Melanie Greaves' blog *
