Jonty Gentoo – The Adventures of a Penguin
Jonty the gentoo penguin longs for somewhere he’s never been—the faraway South Pole, a place he’s sure will feel like home. One starry night, this plucky little penguin sneaks out of the zoo and sets off on a daring adventure, journeying all the way to Antarctica in search of belonging.
Along the way, Jonty faces icy seas and new friends, and discovers the courage to follow his heart even when the odds are stacked against him. Children will delight in cheering Jonty on his epic voyage, brought vividly to life with Axel Scheffler’s warm, colourful illustrations and Julia Donaldson’s characteristically perfect rhyme.
Winner of the 2025 British Book Award for Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year, Jonty Gentoo has been hailed as “gorgeous” by Good Housekeeping and “an instant classic” by The i—full of gentle humour and a message about finding your place in the world. Donaldson and Scheffler, the Lennon and McCartney of children’s publishing, have made another bedtime and storytime essential—perfect for ages 3 and up, and destined to be cherished for years to come.
