Noodles & Albie On Thin Ice is a fun, penguin adventure tale. It’s January (Summer in Antarctica), a time of the year when it doesn’t get dark for months, and Noodles is playing a marathon game of ice ball with his friends in much warmer-than-usual temperatures.  Finally, exhausted and overheated, he takes a break and heads to his igloo for a much-needed rest. While napping, Noodles’ ice shelf breaks off, and begins to float away.  The only one to notice is his best friend Albie (a fish), who unable to wake him swims along with Noodles’ drifting ice flow. The two friends eventually end up in Australia, where they befriend a colony of Little Blue Penguins who are facing a threat of their own.  Will Noodles & Albie be able to help their new friends, and will they be able to make their way back to Antarctica? 

This book not only brings to light the perils of climate change to penguins but, we are also introduced to different penguin species and eco-systems while being made aware of the challenges these different penguins face in the 21st century.  Of course, along the way there are friendships, bravery, adventure, science, and travel with more than a few jokes mixed in this fun, penguin adventure story. Over a dozen wonderful illustrations.
