From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful celebration of mothers set against an atmospheric Antarctic backdrop.
Mummy Penguin is off to find a fishy dinner for her family. She has to swim very fast, climb a slippery cliff – cu-crunch, cu-crunch, cu-crunch – and even tiptoe past some sleeping seals… Shh! All the while, Little Penguin looks on in awe and says: “Well done, Mummy Penguin!”
The icy – and treacherous! – Antarctic landscapes are breathtaking in this funny and exciting celebration of all that mothers do, and all that mothers are.
憑藉充滿活力又極具風格的藝術風格和精準的視覺敘事,Chris Haughton 這次將目光轉向南極洲,獻上一首關於親情與偉大媽媽的動人讚歌。
「她很快就會回來了,對吧?」
「當然會的,」企鵝爸爸說。
雖然冰冷海面上方的天空一片昏暗,但企鵝媽媽正出發去抓魚當晚餐。當爸爸和小企鵝屏息等待時,媽媽在海中游泳、跳躍,奮力爬上濕滑的斜坡,差點又跌回海裡。太厲害了!只剩下一關要過——繞過幾隻剛醒來、脾氣不太好的海豹——媽媽就能回到焦急等待她的家人身邊。
這本來自《迷路的小貓頭鷹》和《喔不,George!》作者的精彩冒險繪本,以大膽鮮明的插畫風格,向企鵝家庭令人驚奇的育兒方式致敬,保證讓小讀者們興奮地緊張期待,一起為企鵝媽媽加油!
