Mr B's review
A flapping brilliant new adventure in a seriously stylish, terribly grown-up looking book. Boudica Bones desperately needs someone to help her find long-ago-buried family treasure to save her crumbling Museum. Step in Mr Penguin, Adventurer and Penguin, donning his bowtie, trademark hat with an arrow through it, oversized magnifying glass and sidekick Colin the spider. Silliness, danger, adventure and side-splitting illustrations in ice-bucket loads, Mr Penguin is another triumph from the creator of Claude.
Description
From the international bestselling creator of Claude, comes a brand new hero – Mr Penguin, adventurer and penguin.
Indiana Jones meets Hercule Poirot in this new Alex T. Smith series with plenty of slapstick humour, mystery and adventure. Highly illustrated throughout with a striking black and orange design.
It has been weeks since Mr Penguin’s last adventure and he’s been stuck at his desk, twiddling his flippers ever since. That is until the phone rings!
Mr Penguin and Colin (a spider and Mr Penguin’s silent right hand man) are called in to find the missing treasure somewhere in the Museum of Extraordinary Objects. The quest finds them solving secret codes, fighting ferocious beasts, eating fish finger sandwiches and travelling deep below the museum to a lost jungle…
