Description:

Jonty is a young gentoo penguin living in a zoo, dreaming of the snowy South Pole home his aunts have told him about. One night, he spots a gap in the fence and makes a bold escape — but swims in the wrong direction and ends up at the North Pole instead, where a friendly polar bear takes him in. With help from a wise arctic tern, Jonty sets off again, journeying through oceans, swimming with swordfish and whales, and even hitching a ride on a boat, until he finally finds his way to a warm huddle of fellow gentoo penguins. Written in Julia Donaldson's signature rhyme with Axel Scheffler's illustrations, it's a heartwarming tale of courage and finding where you belong.
