Welcome to the Penguin Cruise: A Seek-And-Find Adventure

Set sail into this seek-and-find picture book where all kinds of adventures await for 20+ playful penguins!

The Oceano Penguino is a five-story cruise ship with twenty-four rooms, each containing its own exciting story. Follow along as one penguin family embarks on their very first vacation, navigating new seas and helping the cruise crew find missing treasure along the way.

This grand illustrated adventure book is full of penguin characters--from Captain Penguino to Phantom Thief Lupenguin--and countless small and surprising details to discover:

• Where has Chibi Pengi run off to?
• What movie is showing in the cinema?
• Is that a dragon helping the penguins practice for the dance party?
• Most importantly, who stole the Golden Mermaid statuette?

Curious kids can explore the clever illustrations on each page and follow clues to help solve the shipboard mystery. With so many wonderful details, they can even go back on the Penguin Cruise over and over again and find new things every time. Best of all, all the penguin storylines come together at the end for a special surprise! So, waddle on board and enjoy the ride.

THE PERFECT VACATION READ: Whether it's summer vacation or winter break, Welcome to the Penguin Cruise offers the perfect getaway read all year round. By joining the penguins on their trip, readers will sail the seas through night and day, see all kinds of sea life along the way, and explore exciting islands, where there is so much more fun to be had.

ALL ABOARD THE BIGGEST BOAT: Open the huge double-gatefold at the start of the book to reveal the Oceano Penguino, which is such a big boat that it practically fills up the whole page! Ship lovers will enjoy touring the captain's cabin, the engine room, and the galley, while cruisegoers will delight in the many amenities, from the game room to the indoor pool.

20+ STORIES IN ONE PICTURE BOOK: Although the story follows our main penguin family, we explore all the rooms on the ship, each containing penguins involved in their own illustrated activities. These stories intertwine, such as Professor Penguin befriending a stowaway dragon and Detective Penguin chasing Phantom Thief Lupenguin around the ship, and reach a delightful shared ending. At the back of the book, there's also an additional page of illustrated items to seek and find to keep the fun going!
