Lovable penguin Einstein is back to star in another quirky, hugely entertaining story. His besties Imogen and her little brother Arthur are thrilled to hear that Einstein and his friend Isaac will be in London to take part in an advertising campaign.
Einstein loves being the centre of attention and is enjoying the photo shoot very much when suddenly the lights go out. When they come back on, both he and Isaac have disappeared, penguin-napped! The police don’t seem nearly bothered enough so it’s up to Imogen to take up detecting again, ably assisted this time by Arthur.
The story moves as quickly as a penguin chasing anchovies and is full of the witty set ups and elegant comic writing that made the first book so successful. Illustrations are by David Tazzyman, his riotous scribbles perfectly capturing the action. Irresistible bedtime reading – or indeed any time of the day reading.
An unforgettable friend returns in this warm and fantastically funny sequel to the bestselling debut Einstein the Penguin.
Imogen and Arthur have been missing their friend, the penguin, Einstein, since he went back to Australia. So when an opportunity for him to return arises, they jump at the chance. But then Einstein and his friend Isaac are kidnapped. It's time to turn detective again!
