Well Done, Mommy Penguin

I have read other books by Chris Haughton from my library, so because I was familiar with the author, I was excited to read Well Done, Mommy Penguin. The story begins with Baby and Daddy Penguin staying behind while Mommy Penguin leaves with a group of penguins to go out and find food. Mommy must go past three obstacles with the other penguins to get food to bring home to her family. With each obstacle, Baby and Daddy can see Mommy and cheer her on from further away. During the last one, Mommy falls down a hill and back into the water – will she give up?! No! Mommy gets back up and past the obstacle and goes back to her family with some dinner.

This story talks a lot about Mommy Penguin, how she helps the family so much, and how she doesn’t give up when something wrong happens. I like that Baby cheers for Mommy because this is nice and a lot like in my family. The pictures in the book are like the ones in the author’s other books, and the pictures and story make you feel good.
