LoveReading4Kids Says
Award-winning artist/author Chris Haughton perfectly captures the anxiety Little Penguin feels when mum goes off fishing for his dinner. And the pride he feels when she bravely comes back having overcome all kinds of obstacles with a big fish for the family to share.
Chris Haughton’s strikingly coloured and delightfully boldly drawn Little Penguin is a character that appeals to all readers and his plight – anxiety about his mum being away even though he is being safely looked after by his dad – will touch a chord with everyone. A book to love on every level – and it may be helpful, too.

Well Done, Mummy Penguin 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.
