A penguin turns out to be the perfect present in this beautiful 10th anniversary edition of an award-winning classic.

A stunning 10th anniversary edition of a modern classic from Polly Dunbar, the creator of Hello Tilly.

This is the story of Ben, who couldn’t be more delighted to find a penguin friend inside his present. “Hello, Penguin!” he says. Penguin says nothing. Ben tickles Penguin, pulls his funniest face, puts on a happy hat, sings a silly song and does a dizzy dance ... but still Penguin says nothing. It isn’t until a passing lion intervenes that Penguin finally speaks and, when he does, Ben discovers that some things are worth the wait.

Shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal and the winner of numerous other awards, this is a beautiful edition to share and treasure with a foreword and gorgeous gold foil on the cover and spine.
