Well Done, Mummy Penguin Summary

Well Done, Mummy Penguin by Chris Haughton

From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful celebration of mothers set against an atmospheric Antarctic backdrop.

Mummy Penguin is off to find a fishy dinner for her family. She has to swim very fast, climb a slippery cliff - cu-crunch, cu-crunch, cu-crunch - and even tiptoe past some sleeping seals... Shh! All the while, Little Penguin looks on in awe and says: Well done, Mummy Penguin!

The icy - and treacherous! - Antarctic landscapes are breathtaking in this funny and exciting celebration of all that mothers do, and all that mothers are.

Well Done, Mummy Penguin Reviews

[Chris Haughton] is so good at making extremely shareable picture books. These are perfect for really younger ones who are sitting in your lap or at bedtime. [...] It's just so much fun to read aloud, Kids will love reading out the refrain, and if you're a tired mum doing bedtime it's really nice to hear someone saying well done, mummy penguin every couple of pages because you can take it, I think, as a personal congratulation. -- Nadia Shireen * The Today Programme, BBC Radio 4 *
Haughton's signature blocky style works well to capture the squat, waddling seabirds. Icy blues and crisp whites saturate the chilly landscape. Playful sound effects add levity and make for a fun read-aloud, but it is Daddy Penguin's repeated calm assurance that Mommy Penguin will come back (She sure will) that grounds and steadies the book even when Mommy is faced with a brief moment of danger. . . . Female empowerment and penguin parenting at its best. * Kirkus Reviews *
