Tina and the Penguin

Have you ever thought about bringing home a stray cat or dog? What about a penguin? When Tina meets a penguin who's tired of living in the zoo, she decides to help him escape! With quick thinking and a clever disguise, Tina sneaks her new-found friend home. But it doesn't take long for her to realize that a penguin is a very peculiar pet — and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Ages 5-8

AUTHOR:
Heather's books feature ordinary children to whom extraordinary things happen. In Tina and the Penguin, Tina smuggles a penguin out of the zoo and finds that having a penguin in your bedroom isn't as much fun as she thought it would be. In The Fish in Room 11 Toby finds a mermaid with stringy hair living beneath the pier. And in The Boy in the Biscuit Tin, three children find a magic set which does real magic. Friendship and freedom are the themes explored.
