The irrepressible, ever-original Sandra Boynton introduces a brand-new Boynton board book plus free downloadable song sung by Davy Jones of The Monkees. Combining the appeal of the hugely popular “Boynton on Board” series (6.8 million in print) and the sing-along goofiness of “Dog Train”, “Rhinoceros Tap”, and the Grammy-nominated, No.1 “New York Times” bestseller “Philadelphia Chickens”, “Your Personal Penguin” is a read-aloud, listen-along favourite for young children and the grown-ups who read to them. Fun to hold and featuring an inviting die-cut cover, the book tells the story of a slightly bewildered hippo and the loyal penguin who wants nothing more than to be his pal.

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over sixty children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 70 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children's music. Three of her albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold), and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has gone Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring B.B. King, "Alligator Stroll" starring Josh Turner, and "Tyrannosaurus Funk" (animation) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
