Description
From the creators of The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom, an unforgettable tale of a brave little penguin on the journey of a lifetime.
Excited by his aunts' stories of the South Pole, plucky penguin Jonty Gentoo sneaks out of the zoo and sets off to find the land of the gentoo penguins. However, the world is a very big place for a little gentoo penguin and enthusiastic Jonty swims... in the wrong direction! Join Jonty Gentoo on a pole-to-pole adventure as he meets new friends and -- finally -- finds his way home.
Written in Julia Donaldson's unparalleled rhyme and illustrated with Axel Scheffler's witty pictures, Jonty Gentoo has humor, heart, and a plucky penguin hero that young readers will find irresistible.
