Rattling Books, purveyor of Canuck audiobooks, is holding a contest on its website to caption a charming little cartoon of a flock of penguins razorbills – one of them sporting headphones, just like the bird in Rattling’s stylized logo – drawn by Newfoundland illustrator Jennifer Barrett. The contest runs for the month of July, and the winners will be announced in early August. Three winners will get to choose three Rattling titles each from their wide selection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and kids’ books – not a bad prize for the dog days of summer, when lounging in a hammock while a good yarn is piped into one’s earbuds seems like a vastly better idea than picking up that unread tome still sitting by your bedside.
A “penguin”?
1. An unlikely find in Newfoundland.
2. As a logo, I believe it’s already taken.
I think you’ll find that’s a razorbill.
