Description
Clyde loves being a penguin! He’s the star of the show at London Zoo’s Penguin Beach, delighting visitors
every day. From the way he waddles, to his tuxedo-like feathers, no one can resist the loveable charms of
Clyde the penguin. That is, until Diego, a new penguin from Spain, arrives. Why do the visitors love his back-flips
and leaps so much? And why are the other penguins so impressed by him?
Clive must come up with a plan to drive Diego out and claim the top spot again. This is his beach. This is his
spotlight. However, his mischievous plans have gone too far and Diego may be in danger. Clyde and his
penguin friends go on a mission to find Diego. Will they find him, or will the pythons, gorillas and a trio of ‘bad
guys’ get in their way?

The crowd at the London zoo is cheering for Clyde,the penguin. He has been at the London zoo for years arriving from the zoo in Ireland. Clyde is popular and well known for his Irish dancing.Arthur is the wisest penguin and Ray moans the most.Yohann kept to himself and was quiet . Anton has a pet stuffed penguin he believes to be a real shy penguin. Clyde and the other penguins wonder what life is like outside of the zoo. Diego,the new penguin arrives with tales of adventures outside the zoo.
Rosie B, Librarian
Clyde the dancing penguin is the star of the show at London Zoo’s Penguin Beach, but when a talented newcomer is brought in who has a different set of skills, his unhappiness sets off a chain of events that result in a madcap adventure through the zoo, menaced by enemies both animal and human, and assisted by some unlikely zoo visitors.
Slapstick and verbal humour of a type that often appeals to children combine to create a story that younger readers will find entertaining, with an underlying message of tolerance and friendship.
