Just the line “mice playing jazz” alone would have scored a 5 star review from me. This book is so hilarious and it flows with such an entertainingly frenzied pace. I really enjoyed it!

I love how the author uses her imagination to create this hilarious rhyming book about Penguins wearing pants. Of course, we know penguins actually don’t wear pants, but in a world where they do, anything is possible, and everything is crazy! Cats playing ping-pong, and dolphins driving? This super fun book might just become one of your child’s favourites. Kids will enjoy this engaging and funny story, and will laugh at the bright, silly illustrations!
Happy to hear your feedback and review! Wonderful!

This Thank you Gabriel! New books coming soon
This story gives wonderful fantasy reading and imagery. It’s like a much more child palatable yellow submarine esque book. Good length for grade one reader. I will have this in mind for gifts as the illustrations are modern and unique.
Thanks for the review Samantha! So glad that you both got so much out of my book
Our children (3-5) love the books by Michelle, the images are engaging and the stories spark their imagination
Hi David! I’m so pleased to hear that your kids love my books
Beautiful children’s books, my daughter absolutely loves them.
This makes me so happy to hear! Thank you Ellyce
We raised three kids, who are now adults, and read them countless children's books. Michelle MacNamara's, If Penguins wore pants, would have hit the sweet spot for our little ones--if they were still middle. She uses everyday clothing and activity to illustrate her concepts. Children will resonate with such things as pants, shoes and dogs. They will make you stop to show Ms. MacNamara's pictures which will enhance their imaginations. The whole story will also bring a smile and giggles to your child's face. Keep an eye on this author. I am going to read this to our grandchildren when they appear someday.
I hope you get to read this to your grandkids soon! Thanks Rick!
