Buy from Bookshop.orgWho’s ever heard of a penguin that doesn’t like the cold? Surrounded by the same old snow day in day out and always bloomin’ freezing, Clive Penguin wishes he was somewhere else. SOMEONE else. But, with an epic discovery just around the corner, the solution might be easier than he thinks . . .
From real life polar-exploring adventurer Huw Lewis Jones and award-winning illustrator Ben Sanders comes a quirky story about getting what you need, rather than what you want. Readers will hoot with laughter at the hilariously deadpan Clive Penguin – a unique voice that’s perfect for fans of Jon Klassen, Oliver Jeffers and Morag Hood. Featuring edgy illustrations complete with orange neon ink. Oh, and penguins.

"Laugh-out-loud images and a minimal tongue-in-cheek text make this picture book a delight."

The Sunday Times
"This is a book of few words, yet it manages to fit in a complete story arc with plenty of laughs and surprises. Ideal for younger children who like frequent page turns to keep them engaged. Clive Penguin could also be used in the classroom to model the structure of a story and to inspire children's own story writing. Author Huw Lewis Jones is a real life polar explorer - I wonder if he has shared the same feelings as Clive on his expeditions."
