Summary from Templar
With bare cupboards and hungry bellies, three cats steal a penguin to
catch fish for them. A hilarious sequence of events unfolds as the
penguin makes his escape, becoming mistaken for a nun and a waiter
before finding his way safely home. Meanwhile, the cats are caught for
their crime and are sent to jail – for a lifetime of gruel.
Nayuleska's thoughts
This is a read which gets
funnier each time you turn the page. I felt a bit sorry for the misunderstood
cats, but only a little as the penguin was distressed.He didn't panic like other animals would though, he used his intelligence to escape - and keep on escaping!
You can find out more on Helen's website.
Suggested read
For another animal who has escaped (not from cats) check out The Lemur's Tale by Ophelia Redpath
