The Littlest Penguin is born on Phillip Island and soon leaves on her first trip into the ocean. This book tells the story of her first adventure with her friends Scruffy, Cheeky and Big Chick. At the same time it educates about the penguins and the man-made environmental destruction.

This was a wonderful childrens book! Even i learned bew things about the little penguins and even with the educational congent woven in, i can really see children enjoying it (and adults as well). The illustrations are beautiful and it will be a nice keepsake from my Phllip Island trip.

In het zuiden van Australië, langs de kust van Victoria, leeft een van de grootste groepen kleine pinguïns ter wereld. The Littlest Penguin van Jedda Robaard is een verhaal over de avonturen van deze kleine pinguïns op Phillip Island, een boek dat is opgedragen aan de Penguin Foundation, de Penguin Parade en Phillip Island Nature Parks. Aan de hand van korte hoofstukken werkt het verhaal toe naar de dag waarop Little Penguin haar hol verlaat om de wijde wereld in te trekken. Dit doen jonge pinguïns niet met hun ouders, maar helemaal alleen. In het geval van Little Penguin heeft ze ondertussen vrienden gemaakt met Scruffy, Cheeky en Big Chick die ook voor het eerst de zee in zullen gaan. Samen beleven ze de spannendste avonturen en ontdekken ze verschillende gevaren die zich schuilhouden in de zee. Behalve een avontuurlijke reis over volwassen worden, bevat The Littlest Penguin veel weetjes.

I bought this book after my trip to Phillip Island, and I don’t regret it! I bought this for my future daughter (prego 7 months when I went to Phillip Island), and the good thing is I also learn many things about penguin and any other creatures in Phillip Island. The book uses language that’s easy to digest, and has an interesting story line. It also taught us about environmental concerns that would disturb the ecosystem
