The Stewarts never could have guessed that a day trip to the zoo would mean they’d end up sharing their house with a penguin, let alone the amazing mystery that follows. Will appeal to fans of Paddington.” -iNews Best Children’s Books for Christmas Perfect for all readers from 7 to 70, Einstein the Penguin introduces an unforgettable new character in a future-classic and fantastically funny debut for all the family to enjoy. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly!
This book has been described as a future classic, a fantastically funny story for the whole family to enjoy and I agree. This is an wonderful debut for a wonderful new author. This books would be a welcomed addition to any school library or class book shelf. It could easily be read as a class text or used as a focus text for English. It would be fantastic to spend time building character profiles for each of the family members and Einstein (of course). I would be interested to see what children would think is going to happen next at key points in the story as I think that they would be surprised! You could easily use this text to focus on description and effective use of language, too. I hope that you enjoy reading it half as much as I did. When the Stewarts spend a sunny, frosty December day at London Zoo, they’re enchanted by one small penguin. At the delight of young Imogen and Arthur, Mrs Stewart insists the penguin “must come and stay with them whenever he likes.” Perfect for all readers from 7 to 70, Einstein the Penguin introduces an unforgettable new character in a future-classic and fantastically funny debut for all the family to enjoy. Get ready to welcome the most extraordinary penguin into your own home… Although it is a book for children but I enjoyed it a lot. All the characters were likeable and adorable.On one fine day Stewart’s family visits zoo. While leaving Mrs. Stewart says to Einstein(penguin) at the zoo that he can stay with them whenever he wishes. They get a surprise visitor in the evening. It’s the adorable penguin from the zoo. Can he stay with them forever?? Why did he visit them? With the help of Colin (a spider), Mr Penguin battles ferocious beasts and makes his way into a hidden jungle underneath the museum with exciting (and often hilarious) results. A bit of madcap and a lot of cuteness (what is it about penguins that makes them so sweet?) makes it a book children will enjoy. It's Penguin Awareness Day, so, we've put together a booklist full of books about penguins, so you can get to know more about the flightless birds and love everything they're about. Can Imogen’s love of detective novels help with Einstein’s problem? It seems the Stewart family has grown used to having the little penguin about. He travels to school each day (secretly) with Arthur and sleeps on his pillow at night! Mr Stewart’s grown accustomed to his sloppy table manners too.
Einstein the Penguin is a fun holiday read for our 7-9ers, or even our tinier readers 5+ with your help. It’s perfect for a read-aloud because oh!! There are so many voices to do!😂 Gave me all the feels of when I was a kid reading Famous Five, Secret Seven, Baby-Sitters Club etc - just felt so nostalgic reading this sweet and fun tale of a tiny penguin who shows up at the Stewarts' home after their visit to the London zoo. But he didn't just follow them home from the zoo, there's a very important reason he's in London in the first place. ;) Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. Now the humans need his... Einstein the Penguin is a very well written and exciting text. It is definitely a book that children won't be able to put down and will be fully engaged with. The Stewart family were fun to read and I loved the way the parents were firm but supportive of their children.
ISBN
My proof copy doesn't feature illustrations, apart from the cover and endpapers, but I hope the finished copy does have some - Einstein has such espression here, I'd love to see what David can do with scenes and the other characters. If it's just this, though, the endpapers will have kids in stitches. When the Stewart family visit the zoo, they particularly like the penguins. As they are leaving, Mrs Stewart says to one of the penguins that they can come and visit any time. They are very surprised when the penguin turns up on their doorstep shortly afterwards. The children, Imogen and Arthur, love having Einstein to stay and try to find out more about where he has come from and why he is there. Het verhaal speelt zich af in de maand december, dus de kerstperiode komt er ook in voor. Ideaal boek dus om te lezen in aanloop naar kerst. Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... Although he doesn’t actually look like it in the drawings, I was quite delighted to find out that Einstein was a little penguin. They’re such fun and amazing little animals and I’ve not come across them represented much in children’s fiction (although NZ has an excellent book about them, written by someone who works at the National Aquarium). Einstein is a very resourceful penguin, having managed to escape his home at Sydney Zoo and managed to get himself on a flight to the UK, where he believes Issac is and is busy looking for him in London Zoo when the Stewart family see him. When he comes to visit the children are delighted and want to keep him forever and enjoy taking him on adventures – Arthur sneaks him to school, they take him shopping and although Mr and Mrs Stewart make noises about him not staying forever, they don’t do anything about it. Imogen reads detective novels so when she learns Einstein is searching for his friend, she undertakes an investigative role, determined to find where Issac is so that she can reunite them – even if that means they might have to say goodbye to Einstein.
