Introducing your new favorite characters - Penguin and Pup - in this laugh-out-loud Christmassy caper from brand-new talent Hazel Gardner and bestselling illustrator, Nikki Dyson. GIGGLES GUARANTEED.
Meet Penguin: he's thoughtful, kind and loyal. He can be a bit cautious with new things, and he's very sensible. Pup, on the other hand, is a fun-loving whirlwind! She always thinks big and sometimes gets a bit carried away. . . Like lots of friends, Penguin and Pup like VERY different things. Especially when it comes to Christmas. Penguin is all about the simple things: a perfectly-sized Christmas tree, and maybe a mince pie. Pup, on the other hand, wants a GIANT snow machine and a ten-course feast. It's a recipe for disaster, and LOTS of laughter. So whether you are more Penguin, or more Pup, come along and let the giggling begin!Author Biography
