Maureen Lipman reads this classic children's story about a little penguin with a very important job to do.

Otto is a baby penguin chick. He lives on his father's feet at the bottom of the world, and loves to play in the snow.

But he isn't an ordinary penguin - he is the first penguin chick to be born that year, which means that it is his job to look after all the other young penguins.

Out in the snow and ice of Antarctica there is an awful lot to learn, and Otto has to discover for himself how to swim, dive and catch fish before he can teach anyone else.

And how will he do that when all the grown-ups are too busy to help?

A heartwarming story from bestselling author Jill Tomlinson, whose books have been hugely popular for nearly thirty years. Told in clear, simple language, they are ideal for young listeners, who can identify with the baby animals and their attempts to find out who they are. The Penguin Who Wanted To Find Out is sure to strike a chord with any child who loves animals, or who is curious about the world around them.
