Einstein is a penguin, he is on a mission, the problem being he can't really communicate, so it takes amateur detective Imogen to figure it out.
It's Penguin Awareness Day, so, we've put together a booklist full of books about penguins, so you can get to know more about the flightless birds and love everything they're about. I couldn’t resist this one because penguins are my favourite animal. Specifically, little penguins, which are native to southern Australia and also New Zealand. However I like all penguins, and find it hard to pass up an opportunity to read a book containing them.This book has been described as a future classic, a fantastically funny story for the whole family to enjoy and I agree. This is an wonderful debut for a wonderful new author. This books would be a welcomed addition to any school library or class book shelf. It could easily be read as a class text or used as a focus text for English. It would be fantastic to spend time building character profiles for each of the family members and Einstein (of course). I would be interested to see what children would think is going to happen next at key points in the story as I think that they would be surprised! You could easily use this text to focus on description and effective use of language, too. I hope that you enjoy reading it half as much as I did. My thanks to Harper Collins Children’s Books UK and NetGalley for the ARC of “Einstein the Penguin”. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book. When Pippin discovers she possesses magical powers, she uses her newfound skills to investigate the mysterious water shortage in Funsprings.This hilarious fantasy adventure will have readers rolling around with laughter. With charming, witty illustrations from David Tazzyman (he of Mr Gum fame), this delightful adventure makes a magnificent modern-day alternative to Paddington, and is perfect for sharing as a family.
Einstein is no ordinary penguin. In his first adventure, siblings Imogen and Arthur saved him from the clutches of unscrupulous private detective, Bill Hunter, and he now lives happily in Sydney Zoo, Australia. The children desperately miss Einstein and wish they could see him again, so are thrilled when Bill Hunter, who is now an animal film agent, approaches them with a proposal. He wants to cast Einstein and his best friend Isaac, who currently resides in Edinburgh Zoo, in the starring roles of his new fishfinger advert. He arrived on the doorstep of a family that took him in and one of the children took him to school in his bag. From stunning new writing talent Iona Rangeley, and illustrated with wit and brio by the award-winning David Tazzyman, this is a book that will be treasured for years to come.

While leaving Mrs. Stewart says to Einstein(penguin) at the zoo that he can stay with them whenever he wishes. They get a surprise visitor in the evening. It’s the adorable penguin from the zoo. Can he stay with them forever?? Why did he visit them?Can Imogen’s love of detective novels help with Einstein’s problem? It seems the Stewart family has grown used to having the little penguin about. He travels to school each day (secretly) with Arthur and sleeps on his pillow at night! Mr Stewart’s grown accustomed to his sloppy table manners too. The above is why I requested the book from NetGalley. The above is also why I had high expectations from this book. ( Quite unfair to the book, I agree.) And finally, the above is why I felt a little let down when my expectations weren’t met entirely. In an effort to ensure that their children did not get bored, on a bitterly chilly Saturday in December, Mrs Stewart decided to take the family to the zoo. This is where the adventure begins. Young Arthur is desperate to see the penguins and, even though the zoo is about to close for the day, he makes sure that he visits their enclosure. One particular penguin catches his eye, it seems to be copying everything the children do. Arthur and Imogen are sure that they have made a new friend and as they walk away from the enclosure their mum's final words are "You, Mr Penguin, must come and stay with us whenever you like. Penguins are always welcome at our house". When the Stewarts spend a sunny, frosty December day at London Zoo, they’re enchanted by one small penguin. At the delight of young Imogen and Arthur, Mrs Stewart insists the penguin “must come and stay with them whenever he likes.”
It’s another Bookwagon day in our house. The kids were so excited to get their latest books in the post. When the Stewart family visit the zoo, they particularly like the penguins. As they are leaving, Mrs Stewart says to one of the penguins that they can come and visit any time. They are very surprised when the penguin turns up on their doorstep shortly afterwards. The children, Imogen and Arthur, love having Einstein to stay and try to find out more about where he has come from and why he is there. Het verhaal speelt zich af in de maand december, dus de kerstperiode komt er ook in voor. Ideaal boek dus om te lezen in aanloop naar kerst. Perfect for all readers from 7 to 70, Einstein the Penguin introduces an unforgettable new character in a future-classic and fantastically funny debut for all the family to enjoy. Get ready to welcome the most extraordinary penguin into your own home... From stunning new writing talent Iona Rangeley, and illustrated with wit and brio by the award-winning David Tazzyman, this is a book that will be treasured for years to come.
It’s a fun, sweet story that will appeal to younger readers, especially those who love penguins – and really, who doesn’t? Paddington, the brown bear from darkest Peru, is found by the Brown family on Paddington Station with his hat, duffel coat and marmalade sandwiches. Imogen and Arthur discover the penguin is called Einstein, who has a lost friend, Isaac. Imogen and Arthur set to some detective work.. where are these penguins from? How did they end up here? and where is Isaac now? An adventure full of suspense unfolds and they end up travelling to Scotland, meeting detectives (and getting them into trouble with their boss!) rescuing Isaac and spending Christmas with a penguin!
