Penguins of Madagascar: When in Rome... by Alex Matthews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book collects three separate tales featuring the Penguins of Madagascar.

"The Great Drain Robbery" is probably the weakest of the three. It has the Penguins battling an army of rats over food in New York City. It's not bad, and it's the most normal thing they do in this book.

"When in Rome" is the best story and the Penguins look most like themselves. They investigate a magic act that's competing with their circus and there's a twist as to what's going on. The story's gotten a certain insanity to it. I wish the resolution had been better, but this plenty enjoyable.

"Night Out" is typical Penguins mayhem as they hit the town after borrowing a hot car from a celebrity. If you love the Penguins doing crazy things, this is great story.

The book is geared towards younger kids and the extra features reflect that. The pin-ups are all bright and fun to look at and the games are fun if nothing special.

If you love the Penguins or your kids do, this is a worthwhile and fun book to check out.
