Five Little Penguins: A lift-the-flap Christmas picture book
Five Little Penguins: A lift-the-flap Christmas picture book by Lily Murray, illustrated by Holly Surplice
Five little penguins set off with Mamma Penguin on a snowy winter adventure. They waddle through a frosty forest, skate along an icy river and race down snowy slopes but one by one, the chicks seem to disappear. Careful flap-lifters may be able to discover where they have gone.
Built around the familiar rhythm of Five Little Ducks, Lily Murray’s playful text invites children to join in, count backwards and anticipate every reveal. Holly Surplice fills the winter landscape with bright, friendly illustrations, festive animals and plenty of details to notice together.
A cheerful, interactive Christmas read for toddlers and preschool children who enjoy nursery rhymes, counting, penguins and searching beneath flaps. The reassuring surprise ending makes it especially enjoyable for repeated family or group reading.
