"A penguin whines about the uncontrollable problems in his life."-- - Baker & Taylor

A tongue-in-cheek introduction to Antarctica features a plucky little penguin who argues that the region, far from being free from worries and responsibilities, is freezing, filled with natural predators and all but overrun by identical penguins that make it rather hard to find one's mom. Illustrated by the Caldecott Honor-winning artist ofGrandpa Green . Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER ⢠This charming collaboration between the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Bad Seed and the beloved illustrator of The Stinky Cheese Man is full of snarky penguinsâand a sneaky lesson in gratitude.
For one grumpy young penguin, there doesnât seem to be anything he wonât complain about…
âMy beak is cold.â
âI wish I could fly, but I canât.â
âEverybody looks the same as me.â
But when a wise old walrus puts things in perspective, the penguin has to admit that maybe there are some things worth appreciating… at least for a little while.
Praised as âfunny and acerbicâ (The New York Times), this âclassic comedyâ (Publishers Weekly) is sure to elicit mischievous giggles from kidsâand knowing sighs from the adults reading it aloud.
