Penguins aren’t the only animal out there with problems, oh no…
Praise for Penguin Problems: "A small philosophy manual for readers of all ages ... wonderfully original" Observer
From Jory John and Lane Smith, the winner of the 2017 Kate Greenaway Medal, comes a laugh-out-loud companion to the acclaimed Penguin Problems. Edward the giraffe can't understand why his neck is as long and bendy and ridiculous as it is. No other animal has a neck this absurd. He's tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding it behind bushes ... anything he can think of. But just when he's exhausted his neck-hiding options, a turtle ambles in and tries to help him understand that his neck has a purpose ... and looks excellent in a bow tie.
Jory John is the author of the picture books Penguin Problems, Giraffe Problems and Cat Problems, all illustrated by Lane Smith; I Will Chomp You! and Quit Calling Me a Monster!, both illustrated by Bob Shea; and Goodnight Already! and I Love You Already!, illustrated by Benji Davies. He is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling novel, The Terrible Two, and the bestseller All My Friends Are Dead, among many other books. He lives in San Francisco, USA.
