A feel-good rhyming story with a positive message about confidence and self-esteem, from the creators of international bestseller, Giraffes Can’t Dance.

Can Pip-Pip overcome his fears and finally take the plunge? This irresistible story shows that sometimes all it takes is a little bit of encouragement – and a whole lot of heart – to finally make that leap!

This touching tale will soon become a new family favourite.

I like Pip-Pip the best. He was shy at first. Then he was quite brave and could finally jump, swim and fly. I would recommend the book to my friends.

I think this book is AMAZING because Pip-Pip jumped into the water even when he was scared. My favourite character was Pip-Pip because I love to study penguins and ocean animals. I would recommend this book to Mummy because she likes me being brave.

This is my absolute favourite book at the moment. I liked the bit when the penguin finally jumps into the water as i felt very sorry for him when he was hiding away all scared. I would recommend this book to my Mummy as she loves penguins.
