A Penguin's Travel Journal: Australia

By Alex Shaland

Pack your curiosity - Jackie the Penguin is heading to Australia, and this adventure is anything but ordinary. With a hand-drawn wish list tucked under one wing, Jackie dreams of looking into the eyes of four remarkable animals found nowhere else on Earth: the speedy emu, the mysterious platypus, the powerful kangaroo, and the sleepy koala. But checking off this list won't be easy. Each animal has its own secrets, surprises, and challenges waiting to be discovered.

As Jackie travels across forests, rivers, grasslands, and eucalyptus groves, young readers uncover playful animal facts woven into the story. Why does a platypus have a bill like a duck? How high can a kangaroo leap? What makes a koala's day so... slow? Every page invites kids to wonder, observe, and learn.

Perfect for families who love exploring together, this book blends adventure with real science in a way that sparks questions long after the last page. Dive in and see which animal Jackie meets first - and whether that wish list will be completed after all.
