About this ebook

A drizzly day at the zoo turns into a full-blown caper when a greedy little stowaway sneaks into the wrong tartan bag! When Jago leaves the zipper undone on a dismal afternoon in Brimsea Bay, a beaky, beady-eyed shadow slips inside — and by the time the rattling yellow danfo rumbles home, there's a very grumpy, very hungry penguin waddling proudly out of the pastry crumbs.

What follows is a riotous domestic disaster: a ravaged pack of ham, a brutalised rubber duck, soggy footprints on the furniture, and a frantic scramble to smuggle the insolent seabird back to the zoo before Mummy finds out. But even the most cowardly mad dash may not be the end of the mischief — because something small and whiskery is already creeping out from under the rug...

Perfect for children (ages 3–7), We Accidentally Kidnapped a Penguin is a wickedly funny, beautifully illustrated picture book that makes an unforgettable read-aloud.

Kids and parents will love:

Deliciously Dry Rhymes: Witty, rhythmic couplets packed with cheeky vocabulary that tickle the ear and build early language skills.

Richly Illustrated Chaos: Lush, atmospheric artwork full of rain-soaked streets, tartan bags, bubble baths, and one gloriously grumpy penguin.

Playful Lessons: A wonderfully silly way to talk about honesty, responsibility, and owning up to accidents (especially the feathered kind).

A Laugh-Out-Loud Bedtime Story: Dramatic misadventures, a cheeky twist ending, and a satisfyingly sneaky escape make this a perfect bedtime giggle.
