Overall, 'Well Done, Mommy Penguin' is a must-have for any family with young children. It's a beautiful book that both parents and kids will love to read together again and again. So go ahead and add it to your library - you won't be disappointed!

Chris Haughton’s distinctive graphic illustrations and bold blue colour palette bring lots of humour and expression to this suspenseful story. Children can follow the story easily even without the text, although the use of text repetition is brilliant as it adds to the anticipation. Seeing Mummy’s adventure from Little Penguin’s point of view also brings us much closer to the action and will likely have little readers cheering on Mummy Penguin too!

Wow! Chris Haughton's 'Well Done, Mommy Penguin' is an absolute gem of a picture book! From the beautiful illustrations to the heartwarming story, it's a joy to read and a delight for both parents and children. Since 2013, myself and another unnamed illustrator have been working on a scale model of the solar system. It began with a conversation one evening in Spain. I was working on a book about scaleat the time which zooms from a tiny mouse all the way out to the planets and the stars and a conversation was had wondering if any scale modelsolar systems had been made. The models on google all looked quite uninspiring and it was decided to make one ourselves.

There’s no question that books from Chris Haughton’s pen (stylus?) are modern children’s classics, like the wonderful A Bit Lost (2010) and 2014’s Shh! We Have a Plan. The London-based Irish illustrator and author’s blend of humour and his distinctive style is always a joy. His latest offering Well Done, Mummy Penguin - an ode to resilient mammies and the lengths they go to for their families - is another gorgeous string to his bow.

As a fan, and as a former childcare professional, I’m excited to recommend WELL DONE, MOMMY PENGUIN.I didn’t like the way it waspresenting the dad as going out to sea while the mum stayed at home so I swapped the genders around. The gender swapwas interesting though. When the joke was on a disastrous dad itall seemed funny, but when it’s a disastrous mum it’s somehow not very funny at all,its actually quite alarming. There has been a conversation about how dads getpraised for doing the bare minimum while mums often do the work day in and day out without credit. Thisgender reversal really seemed to underline it. Credit where credit is due. Author Anna Kemp introduces The Hollow Hills, the sequel to her dark magical tale, Into Goblyn Wood.
