Chip The Lifeguard

In *Chip the Lifeguard* by Kylie Howarth, everyone’s favourite little penguin returns for a bright, funny picture book adventure set on an Aussie beach. Chip has his flippers firmly set on one goal: joining the surf club and becoming a lifeguard—because who wouldn’t want to keep watch between the red and yellow flags?

But dreams get damp fast when Chip is shooed off the sand, and he and his mates cook up a cheeky plan to sneak him into the action. With lively illustrations and plenty of seaside detail, the story celebrates friendship, persistence and finding where you belong, without ever talking down to young readers.

Perfect for preschool and early primary kids who love beach stories, animal characters and gentle humour, as well as families after an Australian picture book with heart. Discover why this CBCA Notable title is a standout, and add Chip’s latest escapade to your shelves.
