About

Join Penguin and Pup in this laugh-out-loud caper from rising star Hazel Gardner and bestselling You're Called What? illustrator, Nikki Dyson. Choosing a pet has never been so hilarious - and complicated!

Like lots of friends, Penguin and Pup like VERY different things. Especially when it comes to finding the perfect new addition to their family. All Penguin wants is a something small and fluffy. Pup, in typical Pup fashion, thinks the BIGGER the better. A blue whale in a dress! A giant sloth! A unicorn! It's a recipe for disaster, and LOTS of laughter, but will they ever agree on a perfect pet?

Whether you are more Penguin, or more Pup, come along and let the giggling begin! Giggles are guaranteed with Penguin and Pup: The Perfect Pet, from Hazel Gardner and bestselling illustrator Nikki Dyson. Join them as they search from Blue Whales to Giant Sloths to find their perfect pet! Hazel Gardner is a children's author who lives in Lancashire with her human, cat and tortoise family. She has a Master's in Linguistics from The University of Manchester, where she currently works in a public engagement and communications role. Hazel enjoys writing everything from bold and bright laugh-out-loud picture books to mindful, gentle stories and she is particularly fond of all things spooky.
