Penguin in Peril by Helen Hancock
With bare cupboards and hungry bellies, three cats formulate a brilliant plan to steal a penguin to catch fish for them.

Meanwhile, the cats are caught for their crime and are sent to jail - for a lifetime of gruel. Deftly told and beautifully illustrated, this amusing tale will have little ones and grown-ups giggling from beginning to end.
