I liked this book. this is a chapter book. this is book 4 in the series. this book is about Mr. penguin and his friends getting trapped in a pyramid.... All young ghouls and boils need for a hauntingly good celebration this year is a comfy reading spot and one of these spooky stories (costumes and sweet treats optional). I thoroughly enjoy reading anything by Alex T Smith as his distinctive style of writing is a joy to read both for children and adults and lends itself well to those with dramatic tendencies for the rich opportunities for silly voices. I really loved the cosy setting of Schneedorf-on-the-Peak for this one, and my son was obsessed with strudel throughout 😂 With twenty three short chapters, lots of illustrations, a funny cast of characters and an exciting adventurous story, this is certainly a winner. Best of all, there is a second book in the series planned; “Mr Penguin and the Fortress of Secrets.”

So, for me, this is a fine addition to the line and a satisfying and entertaining read on its own. Nicely done. Dashing detective Mr. Penguin and his Adventuring gang are in for a wild ride when they board a luxury cruise ship. From Alex T. Smith’s delightfully illustrated, mystery-detective series. I’m 7 and I loved all 3 books in this series. They are great characters and adventures. The best books I’ve had at bedtime yet. Fun and funny! The second book in the Mr Penguin series and one of my 8 year old's favourites! As a 36 year old I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy them too!

Vagueness in where things are set, but I felt like it was supposed to map to the Himalayas, though the people were inexplicably Germanic. The few non-whites are either sinister or thieves. We read this aloud and it is great for a range of ages even when Tinyfae was 2 as she was rapt by the story and would proclaim "Oh no!" Or "Mr Penguin!!" at appropriate moments and admonishing me if I wanted to take a break between chapters! Thank goodness Miss Bones, the curator of the Museum of Extraordinary Objects, needs his help! Her museum is absolutely falling apart and will have to close unless they can find the secret treasure that her great-great-great-grandfather hid somewhere in the museum. She and her brother, Montague, have been searching everywhere but haven't been able to find even a clue. I enjoyed it, although perhaps not as much as my 7yo and 10yo who were utterly enamoured with it. Mister penguin is a very likeable protagonist and the plot is fun if a little derivative (cough demon headmaster cough). The jokes are solid and it's nicely written. Probably a slight improvement on the first book.

Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - The illustrations were once again AMAZING. I love his art so much and I keep being stunned at how detailed it can go. The cogs and the machinery for instance, holy wow. It is just amazing and I so would love a print of it.Mr. Penguin is a penguin.” Makes sense, right? But… that’s not the whole story. He is also an adventurer. With his friends Colin the spider, Edith, and Gordon the pigeon, he solves mysteries and fights bad guys! This book is the second installment in the Mr. Penguin series by Alex Smith. In this book, a lovable penguin named Mr. Penguin and his friends crash land on Schneedorf, and are welcomed into the city of Schneedorf-on-the-Peak, where a mystery of missing rodents awaits… The ending was just fab! It made me wonder if it would all be good in the end, it hypnotised me, it made me laugh, smile, giggle, and I was just delighted to see it all tie together. I am also glad for the villain of the book (and yes, I won’t be saying any more than that, teehee). Dashing detective Mr. Penguin and his Adventuring gang are in for a wild ride after they crash-land on a snow-drenched mountain. From Alex T. Smith’s delightfully illustrated, mystery-detective series. I haven't read the first installment (my husband did) but I enjoyed reading this one aloud to my son.

Can Mr. Penguin foil this perilous plot and get home in time for a fish finger sandwich?
