The Penguin Post Office
A storybook for your child
The Penguin Post Office — questions and answers
What is "The Penguin Post Office" about?
One very important letter must cross the whole South Pole by bedtime. In MeStory's personalised edition your own child is the hero of all 24 pages. The book opens: At the bottom of the world stood a post office made of blue ice. Your child arrived by sled, pulling a letter that simply had to arrive. It was from Gran, and it was addressed to somebody very far away.
What happens in the middle of "The Penguin Post Office"?
Halfway through the book the adventure turns: They marched in a line, flipper to shoulder, singing the sorting song. A seal in a scarf showed them the shortcut under the aurora. The sky rippled green and pink, like somebody shaking a ribbon.
How does "The Penguin Post Office" end?
It closes gently, ready for bedtime: They rode home on the whale's back, sliding down her spout like rain. And Gran's next letter began, "My dear Whale, you will never guess..."

Ages 3–7. It is a 24-page picture book with one or two short sentences per page, written to be read aloud in about ten minutes at bedtime.
