When a penguin dad ends up far away from his nest, he's determined to make it back to see his egg hatch by any means necessary in this charming "hero's journey for bedtime or naptime" (Kirkus Reviews).
On a frozen sea, where the snow falls fast, and the whirlwinds rage and storm, a rockhopper egg, in a stony nest, was lying safe and warm... Daddy Penguin's egg will hatch any day now, so when he gets lost and finds himself adrift in an unfamiliar world, he'll do anything to get back home! From train to helicopter, hot-air balloon to limousine, Penguin hitches rides with helpful folk--but will he make it in time?Author Biography
