Far away in the icy wastes of Antarctica lives a warm and cuddly, kind-hearted penguin who only wants to do good in the world . . . NOT! This is no ordinary penguin! This is . . . EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN! And he wants to take over the world!
This is such a fun, silly book! I loved Evil Emperor Penguin (“EEP”) and his bumbling sidekicks Mister 8 and Eugene and his minions. Their never-ending antics are hilarious. Poor EEP desperately wants to take over the world but is thwarted at every turn by his employees. They never seem to get things right, much to his dismay.
However, Evil Emperor Penguin never gives up. His resilience is heroic: he won’t give up no matter what. He reminds me a lot of Dick Dastardly chasing the pigeon. I really liked how the book is a collection of small stories that are related. It keeps you engaged. The format of a graphic novel is brilliant and adds to the enjoyment. The illustrations are bright, colourful and perfect for the stories. I think kids (and adults) will go crazy for this book and that it will appeal to even the most reluctant of readers.
