Zoe's Rescue Zoo: Puzzled Penguin
Amelia Cobb, Sophy Williams
When Great-Uncle Horace brings back lost and homeless animals from his travels around the globe, it falls to Zoe and her mum, the zoo’s vet, to settle them into their new home. Zoe’s good at this, because she can understand what they say and talk to them, too. But that’s a secret! In this second book, a tiny penguin arrives at the zoo. He’s really cute, but a bit of a puzzle – he just doesn’t seem to know he’s a penguin!

Before I even opened the book I thought the book is going to be fiction.It was so good and about a girl who could talk to animals.I felt very sad at some moments because of the little, homelss penguin.I would recommend this book to children 7+ because there were some worsd I didn't understand.

I was pleased to read another book in the series. I love penguins so I enjoyed reading about Pip. It was funny that he didn't realise he was a penguin!

This book is funny! I liked how Zoe helps the penguin who is confused and can’t find his home. The story made me happy because Zoe is kind and brave. I think other kids will like this book because it’s full of adventure and cool animals. It’s a good book for kids who love animals and stories that make you smile

In this book, there was a new animal coming to the rescue zoo and it was a puzzled penguin. Great Uncle Horace, the person who was in charge of the rescue zoo was looking to help a squid that got tangled up and then Kiki, a parrot, went alongside him and saw an egg. It hatched and there was a penguin, who's parents had gone. Baby penguins have little feathers that only have a short layer that means they can't stay warm for ages. I learnt that you should not be lazy because Mr Pinch was making a show, and Zoe was slow at selling tickets wasting her holidays.

This is fiction story. I like how Mr.Pinch eats the fish ice lolly because he was mean to Zoe, Pip and Meep in the story. If you are 6 or over you should definitely consider buying this book.

I thought it was amazing. My favourite characters are Pip, Zoe and Meep. My favourite part was when Pip was standing in the corner and Zoe asked him what was wrong and he thought he was an owl.
