Little Penguin has problems: his beak is cold; there’s snow everywhere; the water smells salty; he waddles; he looks the same as everybody else. No – it’s not easy being a penguin! The New York Times called Penguin Problems both “funny and acerbic,” the London Evening Standard declared it to be “hilarious,” and the Observer proclaimed, "A philosophy manual for readers of all ages ... wonderfully original." In this hilarious first collaboration from Jory John and the multi-award winning Lane Smith, a penguin levels with human readers about what penguin life is really like ... and it isn't all fun and games! Have you ever considered running away to Antarctica? Of course you have! Because it's a land free of worries and responsibilities! Think again, my friend. This penguin has come to tell you that his life down there is no picnic. For starters, it is freezing. Also, penguins have loads of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mum in a big crowd of identical penguins? A feel-good read-aloud for readers of all ages, and the perfect Christmas gift.

Pessimistic Penguin
I bought this for an adult friend but took a sneak peek. It made me laugh! It is a great short book for reading out loud to a child. The illustrations are wonderful and the text is simple but charming. I will definitely buy more for friends. I didn't understand why the title page was on the back of the book but it was just another quirk of the book.

This is the best book in our house. My daughter is only 6 months old so I don’t know how much she appreciates it (yet). But I love it

Meh
The best pages were the ones advertised. The rest of the book was a little meh. Returned for a refund. The only plus was it was free to return

Great book for kids about having a positive perspective on life
I liked this book because it was funny and insightful. The penguin, like many people today, is negative and complains about everything going on in his life, but an insightful walrus gives the penguin some perspective, whether he wishes it or not. Fun read.
