They fall into a crack in the ice into the Cave of the Ancient Crown where they meet the king penguin. The penguin helps them solve the riddle in their mission to help Merlin.

Magic book Ripley's Believe it or Not
Clive Carpenter

It had amazing facts about animals, people and inventions. For example: there was a farmer who was shot by a rabbit stepping on a gun trigger. It had facts about over sized animals and deadly animals. It told how people survived crazy accidents. I liked the story of the motorcycle riding frog the best. It also scared me with some gruesome facts. I recommend this book.
