Well Done, Mummy Penguin (Paperback)

[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
