PINTO AND THE NELLA DAN

By Wendy McLennan, Illustrated by Catriona Maclaine

Pinto is a robot penguin who has been created by Dave to help the Antarctic scientists with their field work. He is like a notebook computer and his camera eyes let him video and photograph images. He can communicate with humans and animals. He operates on battery power which needs to be recharged and has a super power switch which often gets him out of scary and tricky situations. Pinto can do what real penguins do, but much more. He is unaware that a shipwreck is on the horizon.
