|summary=Otto the penguin tries to make sense of his life in the Antarctic. He's a sweet and inquisitive thing, who wants to understand everything as he grows up. An utterly gorgeous tale. Highly recommended. Paul Howard was kind enough to be [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Paul Howard|interviewed by Bookbag]].

The story is deeper and longer than most picture books, making this perfect for any child on the cusp of reading for themselves, even for very newly confident readers. It's such a warm-hearted and sweet tale that littler ones will be totally enchanted when you read it to them. Read it with other adults in the room and I bet they'll look up from what they're doing and be hooked by the story too. Highly recommended.
My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson and Paul Howard]].
[[Where Is Home, Little Pip? by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman]] is another tale of a young penguin, with outstanding illustrations from Jane Chapman. You'd be hard-pushed to choose between it and ''The Penguine Penguin Who Wanted To Find Out'', so just get them both! [[Little Bear's Little Boat by Eve Bunting]] is all about growing up, and is wonderfully sweet too.
