It’s Bella’s first day onboard as Captain of the Sunshine! Bella was always going to follow in the same seafaring footsteps as her Aunt Bertha the walrus, but commanding a legendary cruise ship like the Sunshine is no easy task. It’s no ordinary ship – it’s a ship bursting with animal passengers! From penguins to rhinos, giraffes to parrots, life is never dull on board the Sunshine.

Bella has a wonderful crew to assist her – from the weathered sea dog Mr Tatou, to the bossy passenger liaison officer Mrs Purrpot the cat, to Flip and Flap, the young penguin entertainment team – but has she really got what it takes to be Captain Sunshine?

Full steam ahead for an unforgettable animal adventure!

The first in an enchanting four-book series from the author of the bestselling and award-winning HOTEL FLAMINGO, fully illustrated in two-colour throughout. Perfect for fans of EINSTEIN THE PENGUIN, KITTY AND THE MOONLIGHT RESCUE, WATTS AND WHISKERTON and MR PENGUIN.
