Picture Book Puzzler: Penguins

December 26th, 2011 by Eliza Eliza

I’ve been watching clips of the BBC’s new documentary, Frozen Planet, and falling in love all over again with penguins. Check out this very funny clip of “criminal” penguins from the documentary:

How sneaky was that penguin! So I’ve been inspired to put together a puzzler of penguins from children’s books. Can you name each book? Good luck and I’ll see you at the end of the week with the answers!

Just a side thought: Isn’t it remarkable how many children’s books have a penguin showing up uninvited at someone’s house, usually in a box? Do you have another favorite penguin book?
