Editorial Review

Oh so lifelike in looks, this plump and pillowy plush penguin is more than a big soft bundle of huggability. Hold him close, put your hand into the opening in his upper back and make him flap his wings, move his head, and speak (with your best penguin voice). Sure, he stands by himself, a full 13.5 inches tall, balanced on his approximately 7-inch-diameter flat bottom, two shiny leatherette flipper-feet, and a plush tail. He's an eye-catching Arctic artifact on shelf or table, but too loveable to leave sitting across the room. Pick him up and talk to him, you can't resist! And though a living, breathing, emperor penguin can stand Fahrenheit temperatures down to minus-100 degrees, this one doesn't mind cuddling close and cozy under the covers with you. Comes with interesting facts and a story about the emperor penguin's colors. Surface-washable polyester. --Ava Natov

Product Description

Every occasion is a formal occasion for this ritzy Emperor Penguin puppet. Animate his head and beak and he can check for leopard seals, groom his "feathers" or nuzzle a young penguin.

Movable head and flippers. (baby emperor penguin sold separately.)

FACTS OF INTEREST

• Emperor penguins live on the ice pack of Antarctica. They are the largest sea birds (four feet tall!) and can withstand temperatures of 0°F.
• At the beginning of the dark winter, the penguins gather in rookeries of thousands of birds. There, each female lays one egg.
• The males hold the egg on their feet and keep it warm with their bellies. For two months they huddle together and don't eat.
• Baby penguins have fun in the Spring. They lie on their stomachs on smooth slopes and toboggan across them.

My son and I are very lucky because we have almost all of the Folkmanis puppet collection. They are all great, and we really like Penguin. We make up stories or we do stories from my son's library or school books. The kids love to put on shows for us. I put up one of those security cameras with the monitor so they can see themseves and they have a ball. Of course I had to get a puppet house/stage that they use to give shows or even play other games in. It is fun and imaginative for parents and kids.These puppets are VERY well made also. And they are plush and soft, just like stuffed animals, in fact, you have to look hard to find the puppet pocket! Highly recommended for LOTS of fun! I advise getting a few so they can make up characters that can interact.

My 6-year-old daughter loved the movie and now enjoys playing with the penguin and the baby penguin (also by Folkmanis). She plays with her puppets and plush toys more than any of her other toys or games. She just LOVES making them talk and coming up with new adventures for them!
