Plume, a penguin in Antarctica loves exotic food and tires to temp his companions to no avail.With the help of Ava - the albatross mail order delivery service, he travels across the globe to sample different foods. As he visits different places, bright, colourful and humorous illustrations capture elements of the culture, food and its preparation, language to say the equivalent of 'enjoy your meal' in the appropriate language and often pastimes and activities.
This is a light hearted romp around the world, with some oddities such as igloos in Antarctica, but lots of different cultures and countries to to explore with food as the stimulus. A map of the world on the end papers identifies the locations of Plume's travels.

This book is about a penguin who loves to read and travels the world learning about food in different countries. It's probably too long and text-dense for most preschoolers, but would work for junior primary school ages when studying "around the world" themes.
