'Penguin', a Walker Books publication children's book, is a story of a young boy, Ben, who gets given a toy penguin as a present- but, much to his dismay, Penguin doesn't want to join in his games, play along with him, sharing secrets and so on.
A great example of a contemporary children's story, which follows a classic writing scheme, in a styalised iambic pentameter and rhythmic feel, with a distinct illustrative style that travels throughout the narrative of the story.
The style and story perhaps a little too young for my target audience- closer to the 5 years than the 11 (trying to target an my median of around 8 years for a basis of my visual communication and information that would be proposed for my programme... '10 Things You Need To Know About Penguins' (or similar).
