Join the most adorable penguin world explorer on a gastronomic jaunt around the planet in Plume: Global Nibbler, the second book in Tania McCartney’s series for little ones, celebrating the cultures and diversity of the world around us!
Plume loves to cook – and to eat. He loves a bit of spice and he’s on a mission to fire up the tastebuds of his fussy-eater penguin friends. With the help of his dear friend Ava (of the Albatross Express), he leaves Antarctica in search of the world’s most delicious local dishes and treats.
From Iranian kebabs and Swedish cinnamon pastries, to Ethiopian injera flatbread and the chewy crispiness of Italian pizza... can these delightful dishes tempt Plume’s friends away from krill in favour of a truly global smorgasbord?
This delightful picture book is perfect for introducing children (ages 4 and up) to new foods as Plume seeks out tasty dishes, tempting snacks and truly authentic local fare from countries around the world.
The third title in the series, Plume: Festival Seeker is the most gorgeous children's picture book celebrating – what else? – 'celebrations' themselves!
Throughout the year, the world is plump with astonishing festivals and Plume loves them all! Journey alongside this adventurous, colour-loving penguin as he jumps aboard the Albatross Express to take part in a range of enchanting events across the globe.
Stare in wonder at the Up Helly Aa fire festival in Scotland and the freaky Day of Masquerade in Costa Rica. Get messy at the squelchy Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea or La Tomatina tomato battle in Spain. Throw a rainbow of colour during Holi in India or enjoy a celebration of gifts, sweets and kindness at Eid al-Fitr in Algeria.
A year of wonder and excitement culminates in Plume’s favourite festival of them all – Christmas. Will his penguin friends join him for the celebrations?
