The tenth story in the bestselling If I had a... series, which imagines life with a penguin as a pet.

If I had a penguin starts innocently enough when a single Adélie penguin appears at the front door. What our protagonist hasn’t anticipated is that this penguin is part of a colony...

If I had a penguin imagines a sequence of hilarious scenarios in which the Adélie penguins visit the waterpark, the seaside and the jazz club, before cramming themselves onto the sofa to watch a film and into the bathtub before bed. As ever, this book will delight readers with its rollicking rhymes and hilarious gags.
