Conceived and created by illustrator and author Laura Ellen Anderson ( Kittens, Snow Babies, My Brother is a Superhero, Amelia Fang!, Rainbow Grey, I Don’t Want…), these are the revived, remastered and extended exploits of Evil Emperor Penguin! Really, really clever, sly, sweet and hilarious. I got this for my 7-year-old for Christmas based on online recommendations, and I'm so glad I did. He loves it, spends time re-reading it to himself when I'm not reading it to him (which is really saying something, since he's not yet at a stage where he enjoys reading to himself in general) - and I also loved it and laughed out loud again and again as I was reading it out loud to him. The adventures of Evil Emperor Penguin (constantly trying to take over the world, and just-as-constantly being infuriatingly thwarted!), his patient octopus second-in-command, No.8, and his incredibly sweet minion Eugene - not to mention his ultimate nemesis, Evil Cat - are perfect for kids but ALSO perfect for adults raised on Pinky & the Brain, with a similar sense of humor. So much fun! Evil Emperor Penguin: The World Will Be Mine! is a captivating cascade of smart, witty funny adventure, which will delight readers of all ages. A Penguin’s Christmas Carol’ sees the villain forced to examine his own past present and future in the traditional spoofish yet moving manner before a new year welcomes fresh terror as EEP unleashes carnivorous wheelie-bins in ‘Time to Take Out the Trash’, prior to the debut of the politest murderous minion ever as ‘Flegburt’ introduces himself and Evil Cat’s scheme to destroy the penguin’s beloved Invention Room of Evil. Of course, even good manners can’t compensate for Eugene’s unique charm… More upset occurs after the unwary penguin plugs in the ‘Evil Printer’ and reality starts rebelling, even as the discovery of ‘Flegburt’s True Calling’ triggers fashion, shopping and a major career change after which brainwash chemical ‘Shampoogene’ is unleashed. It’s meant to clean humanity’s heads… and brains!… but there’s a little unwelcome side effect…
