BE BRAVE LITTLE PENGUIN
From the team behind the much-loved Giraffes Can't Dance comes this charming, rhyming picture book about a small penguin with a big problem. Pip-Pip watches his friends splash happily in the sea, longing to join them, but he's held back by one thing: a genuine, wobble-in-the-tummy fear of water. It's a feeling any child will recognise instantly. The story follows Pip-Pip as he wrestles with that fear, and what finally helps him find the courage to take the leap. It turns out that a kind word and a little moral support can go a long way. Now available in board book format, it's sturdy enough for even the youngest readers to handle (and chew, let's be honest). The rhyming text bounces along at a lovely pace, making it a pleasure to read aloud at bedtime. More than just an entertaining story, it carries a quiet, genuine message about self-belief and the power of encouragement. The Daily Telegraph said of Giraffes Can't Dance that 'all toddlers should grow up reading this', and fans of that book will find a lot to love here too. Warm, funny, and genuinely reassuring, this is the sort of book that earns its place on the shelf night after night.
