Pengey's Adventures

I just finished reading "The Many Adventures of Pengey Penguin". The thing I liked best about this book was the relationship between the three main characters. They were each different types of birds that had to learn to work together to survive on their trip. They helped each other out of dangerous areas and had fun along the way. I think most people would enjoy this book.

"The Art of Storytelling at it very best"

Not since I was a little girl in Paris, reading Collodi's masterpiece, have I fallen so in love with a fairy tale character. Not since "Pinocchio" have I found a fairy tale so complete, so inspiring and so well developed as "Pengey's Many Adventures." Pengey, I must admit has stolen my heart. His story is beset with so much trouble: abandonment, attacks by other animals and evil humans. But Pengey is undaunted by his troubles. He always takes time to, ponder his options, especially when he's confused. Pengey's always polite and because he is so well mannered he manages quite well in the world of humans. He has one true goal, to find his way back to that place where he knows he is loved. Back to the woman that saves him from starvation. It takes friends and Pengey finds a Parrot and a Puffin that become the best friends anyone could ever want. Still, even as a team, it's a effort to overcome all of the obstacles and hardships, as mother nature seems to be conspiring against Pengey too. I'll never give away the ending. But I'll never forget it, as I sat in bed with my copy of Pengey, and crying my eyes out with tears of joy and happiness. This has just got to be the best children's chapter book in 20 years. Go Pengey, Go!

Imaginative Childrens' Story

If you've seen March of the Penguins, you'll enjoy this tale of a talking penguin. He gets himself into many an imaginative adventure and it's a fun read throughout. Highly recommended!

Pengey stole my heart

Not only was this story a great adventure but also one with heart. I originally purchased this book for a friend's child. Before I gave it to them, I opened it to read a few pages and could not put it down. This book is good for adults and children alike. Enjoy ...
