Fun and classic Julia Donaldson
This is another classic rhyming adventure from Juli Donaldson. Beautifully illustrated, it’s a lovely story of an adventurous Gentoo. One of my favourites from her more recent releases.

A beautifully written and illustrated penguin adventure
Jonty Gentoo by Julia Donaldson is an absolute delight from start to finish. The story follows a charming penguin and his adventures, making it instantly engaging for little readers and perfect for animal lovers. The rhymes are, as you’d expect, wonderfully crafted—flowing effortlessly and making it such a joy to read aloud. They’re catchy without being repetitive, and my child was completely captivated the whole way through. The story itself is gentle, sweet, and full of heart. Jonty’s penguin adventures add a sense of curiosity, while still carrying a lovely message. The illustrations are just gorgeous—bright, expressive, and full of little details that give you something new to notice each time. They complement the story beautifully and really bring Jonty’s world to life. Overall, this is a charming addition to any child’s bookshelf and a must-have for fans of Julia Donaldson. Highly recommend!
