All in all, Call of the Penguins gave me a lot of pleasure to read. It also portrays an important message about looking after nature and thinking about packaging. This book is filled with even more penguin trivia, this time taking us to the southern hemisphere and featuring a variety of species.

I laughed out loud many times at Veronica's sharp tongue and her very precise way of speaking and thinking. I really enjoyed this story as I felt there was so much going on in different locations with different characters. It seems the octogenarian's adventures are not over yet.

"I am fizzing with excitement like a bottle of vintage champagne. The settings of Veronica's home in Scotland and the fictional islands in Antarctica and the Falklands are portrayed beautifully and of course, once again, the penguin stars of the story are absolutely charming. After all, that’s what I did.

Just seeing how strong Daisy had become was lovely, having going through something that is so heartbreaking. Prior adore these wobbly creatures, but also has a wide range of knowledge about them.
