Mr Penguin and the Lost Treasure by Alex T. Smith

3.0

I read this book for my 4yo and he liked it, though not as much as he does with shorter picture books. Although the book has lots of lovely illustrations, it's quite long for very young kids. The plot is simple, you can count all characters with your fingers, I knew what the twist would be as soon as the characters made their first appearance... but it's still too much to grab for my 4yo, he couldn't see who the bad guys are (Oh dear!) I guess the book would be more entertaining for a school kid. The characters are quite funny and comical. As a parent I enjoyed the book nonetheless.
