penguin and pup: the perfect egg: a laugh-out-loud easter story

It’s time to meet your favourite characters – Penguin and Pup – in this laugh-out-loud springtime caper from rising star Hazel Gardner and bestselling You're Called What? illustrator, Nikki Dyson. Giggles guaranteed!

　　Meet Penguin: he's thoughtful, kind and loyal. He can be a bit cautious with new things, and he's very sensible. Pup, on the other hand, is a fun-loving whirlwind! She always thinks big and sometimes gets a bit carried away. . .

　　Like lots of friends, Penguin and Pup like VERY different things. Especially when it comes to Easter. All Penguin wants is a perfectly sized chocolate egg to enjoy in the garden. Pup, on the other hand, is thinking: why stop there? What about a Rocket Egg, or an Eggshell Pirate Ship? It's a recipe for disaster, and lots of laughter.

　　Whether you are more Penguin, or more Pup, come along and let the giggling begin! The perfect gift for little ones at Easter.
