If I Had a Penguin

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 . . .

Happy Feet meets March of the Penguins in this comical new entry in the bestselling If I Had a . . . series. With over 370,000 copies in print across seventeen languages, the If I Had a . . . series continues to gain fans and build a following around the world.

To date, the series has imagined ten different creatures and what it would be like to integrate them into a child's daily life. From prehistoric pets to eight-legged sea creatures, the series delights readers with its rollicking rhymes and hilarious comic gags.

If I Had a Penguin is no different and imagines a sequence of hilarious scenarios in which a colony of Adélie penguins visit the water park, the seaside, and the jazz club, before cramming themselves onto the sofa to watch a movie and into the bathtub before bed.
