From the Back Cover
Whistler is one hot penguin!
All over town, it's boiling hot. At the zoo, the animals are dying for some ice-cream. The warthogs are wilting, the parrots are parched and the snakes are sweating. And sitting beside a dried-up pool is a very hot penguin called Whistler!
Then along comes Phelan Whelan - a small boy with a big anorak, despite the weather. Whistler spots his chance for escape. He dives into Phelan's pocket and sets off on the first stage of his journey to the South Pole!
A fishy tale from a very funny author.
Young Corgi books are perfect for building reading confidence.
