Little Tiger The Snowy Penguin.

Wintry Tales

by Holly Webb, David Dean (Illustrator)

Bella is thrilled to be joining her mum on an expedition to study penguins on the Antarctic coast. While exploring one of the islands she discovers an unusual penguin with a pale brown coat instead of the typical black.? But before Bella can investigate further, she spots an old pirate ship sailing to the island, then she blinks -and it disappears! Bella is convinced that she imagined it, until she goes out searching for the pale penguin again and bumps into a boy named Jules. He has arrived with a group of sailors from the 1800s, and they're desperate to catch the rare penguin for themselves... A magical wintry tale from best-selling author Holly Webb. For fans of Michael Morpurgo andTHE SNOW FOAL, this is the perfect book to snuggle up with and enjoy this winter.
