Penny Pangolin and the Rock Soup

Narrated by David McCormack, the voice of Bandit Heeler (Bluey's dad) in the hit kids' cartoon show BLUEY!

The annual village festival is here, filling the air with laughter, music, and the irresistible aromas of yummy foods. Penny's friend Vin, a fellow pangolin, is visiting just in time for the festivities. Together, they dream of one day hosting their own food booth, showcasing Vin's special rock soup—a pangolin delicacy that's not just delicious but essential for their digestion. But amid the fun of concerts by the Singing Gibbons and racing with chopsticks, a culinary misadventure strikes as Penny tries a food that leaves her feeling unwell.

With her scales itchy and her stomach in knots, it's up to Vin to whip up a batch of his famous rock soup to soothe her tummy and lift her spirits. As they navigate this hiccup, Penny and Vin don't just learn about the importance of knowing what's in their food, they also strengthen their bond, proving that friendship and caring are the best remedies. Penny Pangolin and the Rock Soup combines an engaging narrative with educational elements, featuring endangered pangolins, introducing young listeners to unique aspects of diets and the importance of dietary awareness, not just for humans but for animals too.

Supplemental teaching resources, activities, and digital slides download available!

Kids ages 3-8 will enjoy joining Penny and Vin in their culinary adventure and learning how even the smallest of us can make a big difference in our world, one bowl of rock soup at a time! Happy listening, and have a pango-perfect day!
