I love this book . . . Iona Rangeley has written a wonderfully witty story in Einstein the Penguin which is beautifully complimented by David Tazzyman's hilarious illustrations” DAVID WALLIAMS, author of GANGSTA GRANNY An exciting story right up until the end, this is a perfect text for later KS1 and KS2 to use in the classroom, and is a text that all abilities can engage with. There are plenty of writing opportunities for both fiction and non-fiction from this text; recounts, predictions, newspaper reports, retelling from another character's perspective, factual writing. Drama; freeze frames, debates, character speech, expression, retelling. Geography; country location, travel, climate, habitats. This is the first book that I’ve read with my Year 3 book club and it’s been really enjoyed. This is one of the four shortlisted books for the Spark! School book award 7+ fiction.

The blurb says that this is “perfect for all readers from 7 to 70”. I would disagree a bit. For the correct age group ( 7-10 year olds based on the language and the illustrations), this will surely be a nice Christmas book. Some old preteens might enjoy it too. But for grown-up children of my age, there are better kiddie books out there to savour. Let’s leave this one only for actual children. Now comes the big question. Why has Einstein come to the Stewarts? Can he stay with them like a pet? Soon, a mystery begins to unravel and Imogen and Arthur discover that Einstein is as smart as his name and has come to them on a mission.

Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... The story carries a lot of Paddington vibes, mainly because this tale is also set in London and that wild-animal-with-a-family trope seems similar and familiar. But other than this common factor, the two stories are quite different. Of course, I would have loved it to be more like Paddington. Who wouldn’t want a talking penguin? Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - With charming, witty illustrations from David Tazzyman (he of Mr Gum fame), this delightful adventure makes a magnificent modern-day alternative to Paddington, and is perfect for sharing as a family.

Gave me all the feels of when I was a kid reading Famous Five, Secret Seven, Baby-Sitters Club etc - just felt so nostalgic reading this sweet and fun tale of a tiny penguin who shows up at the Stewarts' home after their visit to the London zoo. But he didn't just follow them home from the zoo, there's a very important reason he's in London in the first place. ;) Perfect for all readers from 7 to 70, Einstein the Penguin introduces an unforgettable new character in a future-classic and fantastically funny debut for all the family to enjoy. This book has been described as a future classic, a fantastically funny story for the whole family to enjoy and I agree. This is an wonderful debut for a wonderful new author. This books would be a welcomed addition to any school library or class book shelf. It could easily be read as a class text or used as a focus text for English. It would be fantastic to spend time building character profiles for each of the family members and Einstein (of course). I would be interested to see what children would think is going to happen next at key points in the story as I think that they would be surprised! You could easily use this text to focus on description and effective use of language, too. I hope that you enjoy reading it half as much as I did.Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Was a little hard to get into at the start but that may have just been due to my environment at the time. This book was funny and ridiculous but heartwarming and unexpected in some places. Touches on the ideas of communication barriers and difficulties, friendship and the struggle to make friends, love and possible links to autism or some kind of sensory sensitivity.

I love this book . . . Iona Rangeley has written a wonderfully witty story in Einstein the Penguin which is beautifully complimented by David Tazzyman’s hilarious illustrations” DAVID WALLIAMS, author of GANGSTA GRANNY After a visit round the zoo, the very ordinary Stewart family end up inadvertently inviting a penguin home 🏡 🐧🤫

He arrived on the doorstep of a family that took him in and one of the children took him to school in his bag. Imogen and Arthur discover the penguin is called Einstein, who has a lost friend, Isaac. Imogen and Arthur set to some detective work.. where are these penguins from? How did they end up here? and where is Isaac now? An adventure full of suspense unfolds and they end up travelling to Scotland, meeting detectives (and getting them into trouble with their boss!) rescuing Isaac and spending Christmas with a penguin! I couldn’t resist this one because penguins are my favourite animal. Specifically, little penguins, which are native to southern Australia and also New Zealand. However I like all penguins, and find it hard to pass up an opportunity to read a book containing them. Imogen, a nine-year-old girl and her younger brother, Arthur, are taken on a last minute trip to London Zoo. There's all the typical events of a family trip - rushing around, lost jumpers, busy transport, everyone wanting to see different animals, ice cream and not being finished when the attraction closes! Through the detailed events, choices of language and character speech, the reader will soon be laughing as the chaotic events unfold.

Synopsis

Einstein is also extraordinary, because he is a PENGUIN ON A MISSION! And Detective Imogen and able assistant Arthur have to put on their smarts and be brave to help their little friend. I love it! 😍 Einstein is no ordinary penguin. In his first adventure, siblings Imogen and Arthur saved him from the clutches of unscrupulous private detective, Bill Hunter, and he now lives happily in Sydney Zoo, Australia. The children desperately miss Einstein and wish they could see him again, so are thrilled when Bill Hunter, who is now an animal film agent, approaches them with a proposal. He wants to cast Einstein and his best friend Isaac, who currently resides in Edinburgh Zoo, in the starring roles of his new fishfinger advert. In het boek zijn er ook illustraties te zien. Deze zijn mooi en treffend. In het e-book is er een fase waarin moeder, Imogen en Arthur iets tegelijk roepen. Op de volgende pagina is er een illustratie met de zin te zien en op de daaropvolgende pagina nog eens de tekst. Dit vond ik goed bedacht van het uitgeversteam. Paddington, the brown bear from darkest Peru, is found by the Brown family on Paddington Station with his hat, duffel coat and marmalade sandwiches.
