Penguin and Penelope

Ages 3 to 6

2022 marks TEN YEARS OF PENGUIN! Celebrate with a charming new story about our favorite friend from Geisel Honor-winning Salina Yoon.

This deluxe hardcover (featuring a gatefold inside) celebrates a return to a beloved character in this anniversary year.

When Penguin finds a little elephant, Penelope, stuck in mud, he does everything he can to help. But the elephant herd is out of reach, across a too-big ravine. Penguin stays with Penelope, keeping her company as they look for a way home. As they go, their friendship grows into something extraordinary! And when they both wish they could fly like the birds in the sky, they realize there’s something they both CAN do—swim! And soon a fun dip in the sea brings a whole new perspective, and a new way home for Penelope. Salina Yoon’s spare text and bright illustrations bring to life this charming story about finding friendship and finding your own way.
