From stunning new writing talent Iona Rangeley, and illustrated with wit and brio by the award-winning David Tazzyman, this is a book that will be treasured for years to come. 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. Get ready to welcome the most extraordinary penguin into your own home… It’s a fun, sweet story that will appeal to younger readers, especially those who love penguins – and really, who doesn’t? Although it is a book for children but I enjoyed it a lot. All the characters were likeable and adorable. 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.
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? My thanks to Harper Collins Children’s Books UK and NetGalley for the ARC of “Einstein the Penguin”. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book. After a visit round the zoo, the very ordinary Stewart family end up inadvertently inviting a penguin home 🏡 🐧🤫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.

When the Stewarts spend a sunny, frosty December day at London Zoo, they’re enchanted by one small penguin. At the delight of young Imogen and Arthur, Mrs Stewart insists the penguin “must come and stay with them whenever he likes.”Einstein is a wonderful, sweet, heartwarming story with a mystery hovering around the family shaped heart. There isn't really a bad guy, as this isn't that kind of story. Imogen and Arthur provide plenty of adventure and some really clever mystery solving, and for a mute animal Einstein is very good at giving just the right hints at just the right time. 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. It’s another Bookwagon day in our house. The kids were so excited to get their latest books in the post. Na een bezoekje aan de dierentuin krijgt het gezin Stewart, bestaande uit moeder, vader, de 9-jarige Imogen en de 6-jarige Arthur bezoek van wel een heel bijzondere gast: Einstein de pinguïn. Het is het begin van een wel heel bijzonder avontuur waarin Imogen en Arthur als ware detectives op zoek gaan naar Einsteins vriend Isaac.

The family’s new feathered friend helps Arthur to come out of his shell and makes massive demands on Imogen’s amateur sleuthing. But together they must find out why Einstein came to them and they must keep away from the mysterious white-coat man. 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.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! 😍 On the other hand, the book started off well for me but soon became quite far-fetched. Kids will enjoy the antics of the siblings and the clever penguin as long as they don’t ask “how”. This is because there are quite a few things left unexplained and are absolutely unrealistic. ( Yeah, okay… Children’s book… I gotta dial down my logical side.) There are also some things that didn’t quite work out the way I wanted. ( Expectations issue again… Sigh!)
