Bookroo's summary

Join a curious penguin on a global adventure, where she learns to say 'please' in seven languages. From savoring pastries in France to sipping chai in India, each stop offers a new cultural experience and a lesson in manners. With an illustrated map guiding her journey, discover how this penguin connects with animal friends across eight countries, embracing the universal language of politeness. Will she remember her manners everywhere she goes?

From the publisher

Por favor, s’il vous plaît, ching: this adorable board book teaches preschoolers how to say “please” in seven languages! Join Penguin as she enjoys pastries in France, explores the Hermitage in Russia, sees Mount Fuji in Japan and the Pyramids in Egypt, buys fish in China, sips chai in India, visits relatives in Argentina–and remembers her manners everywhere she goes! Each “please” word is translated and has a pronunciation guide, and an illustrated map follows Penguin’s travels round the world.
