365 penguins

On the first of January, the postman rings and brings a package. It features a penguin and a mysterious letter: "I am number 1, when I'm hungry, feed me." And so it goes day after day... The picture book by artist Joëlle Jolivet and writer Jean-Luc Fromental is an imaginative and extremely funny account of counting , one family and 365 surprises.

What do you do when first dozens and then hundreds of uninvited guests with orange legs and wearing black and white dungarees trickle around your house, croaking instead of talking, constantly locking themselves in the bathroom and, on top of all that, they tend to be quite nervous when they're hungry? How to organize and feed 4 x 15, 12 x 12 or 6 x 6 x 6 penguins when there is one more every day? After a few months, mom runs out of supplies, sister has a craving for penguin pate, and dad's head spins from the constant recalculation... Who is the mysterious sender of the living packages and why is he actually sending them?

An unusually funny pictorial mathematical story with an ecological point. For use by the whole family!
