The Penguin and the Little Whale

Pip, a small penguin with a round white belly and a little red scarf, lives beside the big blue ocean and dreams of a grand adventure on the sea. One sunny morning his wish comes true when a young whale named Splash pops his head out of the water and introduces himself. The two become fast friends, and Splash invites Pip to climb onto his back and see the ocean from a whole new place.

Together they race along the coastal waters, visit a secret cove full of bright fish and pink crabs, and rest on a warm flat rock trading stories. When the wind grows stronger and the waves turn tall and choppy, Pip feels wobbly and scared, but Splash stays calm and carries him gently back toward shore. This gentle tale by Jane MEADOW explores friendship, trust and kindness, and can be read on Kids Tale Book. It suits children being read to at bedtime or early readers ready for a gentle chapter story about curiosity and the sea.
