Book Review: How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior
Did you enjoy the book Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple? If the answer is ‘yes’, you will most certainly enjoy How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior. And if you hated Bernadette? You’re going to want to pass on this book, because it’s VERY similar. Prior’s book is an easy, light read that made me feel warm and fuzzy all over. Our protagonist Veronica is a crabby old woman that will make you laugh, but I also admired her penchant for expensive handbags. The penguins are super cute too.
Like Melanie, i was sure this was a children’s book. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with cute covers. And it’s convenient that you have your own personal penguin model for the shoot too.
having all these toys in the house is a real plus LOL
Is this book appropriate for a 9th grader?
yes absolutely! They may not find it relatable perse, but definitely a fun read.
