Over the moon that ‘Inspector Penguin Inspects’ is a Book of the Month in The Guardian. Nothing fishy about it.
Congrats to the whole team at @HachetteKids.

Love that review. Thank you very much. Terry says ‘thanks’ too 🐙

A fun read which tackles fear with humour, supported by bold illustrations #iamnotanoctopus by @eoinmclaughlin & #marcboutavant sees Terry, a regular guy with a few extra arms 😉 afraid of water. Perhaps he should learn to swim? Can Terry overcome his fear & accept who he is 🐙
