NUMBER ONE bestselling David Walliams. Illustrated by artistic
genius Tony Ross. Meet Geronimo - the baby penguin who has one
dream and one dream only - and that is to fly! But everyone knows
penguins can't fly... or can they? With a little help from his dad

dreams can come true. A delightfully topsy-turvy book with an
uplifting message about following your dreams - another
blockbusting classic from David Walliams and Tony Ross! There are

any mention of 'free' penguins on the back cover is a joke and as

the animal kingdom and how they are classified by the naturalists
that study them. The Illustrated Compendiums' beautiful
illustrations recall the style used by naturalists and explorers
such as Charles Darwin and John James Audubon. Children aged 7 and
up will enjoy dipping in and out of these books, inspired by the
fascinating illustrations and facts.
