Book Description
It's love in a cold climate for Osbert the penguin...
Product Description
One morning there's a knock at Joe’s door. It’s Osbert the penguin. He’s escaped from the zoo, and he and his friends (all twenty-one of them) want to travel to Antarctica for a once-in-a-century spectacle: the southern lights. Luckily Joe has a helicopter, for everyone knows that penguins can’t fly. But when they land at the South Pole and pile out to watch the skies, it seems Osbert is more interested in something – or someone – else. Can Osbert and Joe still be friends now that Osbert has found love?

gorgeous
4 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
My five year old got a gift certificate for his birthday and - being rather fond of the penguins - picked out this gift box for himself. My first thought was, "Great! Another penguin." but then when we curled up together to read the story, I was quite delighted with his choice, and so was he. The illustrations are very good, the layout reveals the story very cleverly and, for a wonderful change, the story is more than just a trite collection of cliche and aphorism. Highly recommended for any young child.

Magical Adventure
17 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
My nephew and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this beautifully illustrated, whimsical tale of a boy and his friend, Osbert the Penguin. We were big fans of the My Penguin Osbert, so we were happy to get more! E. C. Kimmel's story and Buck Lewis's magical illustrations transport us to the South Pole on a sweet adventure. Especially enchanting is the page of Southern Lights.

Penguins and the Southern Lights on Valentine's Day
11 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
MY PENGUIN OSBERT IN LOVE is the sequel to author Kimmel's MY PENGUIN OSBERT. Osbert lives in a zoo now and his former owner, Joe, now flies helicopters. A day or so before February 14th, Osbert shows up at Joe's house with several of his penguin friends. Osbert and his friends have escaped from the zoo because they have received an invitation from Aurora Australis, the President of the Penguin Life Society, to come to the South Pole and view the southern lights on February 14th. Osbert is Joe's friend and wants to help, but his mother's Mid-Winter bash is the same day. What's a boy with a penguin for a friend to do? Fly his helicopter to the South Pole, of course! Since Joe can fly he figures they can take the trip and get back in time for his Mom's big bash. But when Joe and the penguins get to the South Pole, Osbert falls in love and Joe starts to freeze. The warm illustrations are quite colorful and do a good job of accompanying the text and providing younger readers with a visual element to what is happening. Overall a rather short, but charming story that young penguin lovers and lovers of penguins are sure to enjoy.
