A penguin suddenly came to my house! If so…
Penguins can be easily seen at aquariums and zoos. I can’t actually keep one, but what would happen if I tried? I’m sure there are many penguin fans who have thought this.
This book introduces, with surreal illustrations, a number of bizarre incidents that could occur if you imagine “What if someone came to my house?”
The person in charge of the manga and imaginary world illustrations was Umi Fukuno, who draws tasteful penguins in a variety of media. He has a good reputation for his detailed drawings of penguins, such as the body patterns and crown feathers.

You can also learn about penguins’ quirky and interesting ecology! This book is about what if you owned a penguin? A total of 4 pages will be developed in one set, including 2 pages of the world of imagination and 2 pages explaining the ecology of the penguins that are the source of the imagination.
This book is not only interesting, but also provides solid knowledge about the ecology of penguins, which are said to be “a bit quirky.” The program was supervised by Issei Ueda, president of Penguin University and active in the media as a Penguin doctor.

For example, the imaginary world of a penguin sliding down the hallway of a house on its belly is actually derived from the “tobokan,” a type of gliding unique to penguins in which they move by sliding on the ice on their bellies.
