Jonty Gentoo: The Adventures of a Penguin [Donaldson, Julia, Scheffler, Axel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Jonty Gentoo: The Adventures of a Penguin Review: Cute book - A cute book on a penguin's journey to find his kind. Like other books from the same author, this book is also promoting beliving in oneself and following one's heart/dream. Review: Great choice for home school or school libraries! - A really fun read aloud in the school library all the way up through 3rd grade. There are tons of extensions you can do in terms of arctic animal research. I love everything by this creative duo, but this one stands apart (from those I've read so far) in that it has realistic science research.

Scientifically accurate living book
I am a mostly Charlotte Mason homeschool mom and am always looking for "living books" (books that tell a story with facts woven throughout). This adorable story shares the journey of a gentoo penguin escaping captivity and finding his way back to Antarctica. As a former science teacher, I appreciate the scientific accuracy of the story. The illustrations aren't my favorite, but the story has been enjoyed over and over again by my 2, 4, and 6 year old.

Get this book!
The Gruffalo was one of my favorite stories as a child and I had never read Jonty Gentoo till I got a copy for my child and I am blown away! I love this book so much and my child gets excited to look at all the illustrations! Would definitely recommend. Iโve ordered other books off amazon and been disappointed but this one is beautiful all around. Very happy!

A Tribute to my Dad
I purchased two books for my grandchildren in memory of my dad. He was an oceanographer and spent time in Antarctica. I told the girls that he was hanging out with a lot of friends down there! They love the story and there was a lot of information for them to learn.

I sometimes think I enjoy reading the Julia Donaldson books more than my daughter, and this book is a classic example. Lovely story and illustrations

This is another classic rhyming adventure from Juli Donaldson. Beautifully illustrated, itโs a lovely story of an adventurous Gentoo. One of my favourites from her more recent releases.
