In Chapter 7 there is a long list of the things Captain Cook collected for his own rookery. So, we made a list and went hunting for how many things we could find and put in our rookery! I had to change a few items, or offer alternatives. We don’t have pipes in our home… or a buttonhook! Feel free to download the pdf of this checklist by clicking on the image above or clicking here.
We are fast becoming super penguin fans! See you back next Wednesday for Chapters 11-15!
