The Penguin Who Wanted to Find Out

By: Jill Tomlinson

Narrated by: Maureen Lipman

Otto isn't an ordinary penguin: he is the first penguin chick to be born that year, which means that it is his job to look after all the other young penguins. But out in the snow and ice of Antarctica, there is an awful lot to learn, and Otto has to discover for himself how to swim, dive, and catch fish before he can teach anyone else. And how will he do that when all the grown-ups are too busy to help?©2006 Jill Tomlinson (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Not quite right for 2 year old

Lovely reader although she has a heavy Irish accent which was a bit challenging for my 2.5 year old. Also, most of this story is Penguins talking to each other, which is not enough action for my little one, I think. On the plus side, there's nothing scary. Hard to find good audio books for very young children for long drives. This one can work but Frog and Toad or Magic Tree house are much better. I can't speak to how this would be received by an older child, probably would be great.

charming and educational!

Loved the story of courage and community. British accent also a plus. My almost 4 yr old was riveted!
