Mr Penguin and the Lost Treasure: Book 1

Product Information

Mr Penguin advertises in ‘The Cityville Times,’ looking for adventure and this comes when he gets his first call, from Boudicca Bones at the Museum of Extraordinary Objects. Ms Bones is desperate to find the treasure that her great-great-great-grandfather buried somewhere in the museum and Mr Penguin is sure he can help her. The drawing supports all of that wonderfully. The lines are crisp and clear, and color is understated. The drawings illustrate what's going on in the story, so they are both amusing in their own right and helpful in understanding and following the action. Whimsy is in the eye of the beholder, but at least to me these characters just come across as fun and friendly.

This book is about a lost treasure and a museum in ruins. The museum is owned by Mrs Bones and Mr Mortage who asked Mr Penguin if he could help them find some lost treasure. That would help Mrs Bones and Mr Mortage to upgrade their museum and also pay Mr Penguin a large SALARY so he can pay his bils. So Mr Penguin agreed and decided to set foot in the Jungle to find the lost treasure. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment.Things really take a turn for the worse when Mr. Penguin learns the real crooks are closer to snatching the loot than he thought! Can Mr. Penguin foil this perilous plot and get home in time for a fish finger sandwich? Dashing detective Mr. Penguin and his Adventuring gang are in for a wild ride after they crash-land on a snow-drenched mountain. From Alex T. Smith’s delightfully illustrated, mystery-detective series. Schon wieder eine Tiergeschichte? Ja, aber dieses Buch schafft es tatsächlich, eine neue originelle Geschichte zu erzählen. Mr. Pinguin ist Detektiv und ganz wild auf Abenteuer. Sein erster Fall führt ihn ins Museum, wo er bei der Suche nach einem verschollenen Schatz helfen soll. Dabei erlebt er allerdings (fast) mehr Abenteuer als ihm lieb ist... The fact that our author, Alex Smith, is responsible for the amusing "Claude" series was all I needed to interest me in this book, the first in a new "Mr. Penguin" series. This one seems aimed at a slightly older crowd, but has the same charm and appeal as the "Claude" books.
