Miss 6 loves the Penguins of Madagascar comics. We've read them out of order but it hasn't mattered. I wish there were more!
Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Cute! I love how expressive they are, and the stories are silly and entertaining. I'd definitely recommend it for a fan of the Penguins of Madagascar, but I personally wouldn't give it more than one read.

This book collects three separate tales featuring the Penguins of Madagascar.
"The Great Drain Robbery" is probably the weakest of the three. It has the Penguins battling an army of rats over food in New York City. It's not bad, and it's the most normal thing they do in this book.
"When in Rome" is the best story and the Penguins look most like themselves. They investigate a magic act that's competing with their circus and there's a twist as to what's going on. The story's gotten a certain insanity to it. I wish the resolution had been better, but this plenty enjoyable.
"Night Out" is typical Penguins mayhem as they hit the town after borrowing a hot car from a celebrity. If you love the Penguins doing crazy things, this is great story.
The book is geared towards younger kids and the extra features reflect that. The pin-ups are all bright and fun to look at and the games are fun if nothing special.
If you love the Penguins or your kids do, this is a worthwhile and fun book to check out.

The artwork varies quite a bit between stories and I preferred one style over the others. The plots are also quite distinctive. The first and third felt very like the TV series while the second was clearly working from the Madagascar movie perspective.
It included some stills from the Penguins own movie which didn't gel with the rest of the book. The North Wind, although their picture is included, aren't anywhere else. But for fans of the Penguins, I'd recommend getting this comic.
