Tacky The Penguin

Fabulous bright and wonderfully funny illustrations by Lynn Munsinger help make this a fabulously silly tale about a penguin who does not fit in with the other penguins. However, everyone soon learns that being different can actually be a very good thing. This is a great book to have in your own collection and to give as a gift to all your friends. Everyone knows someone who is (or are themselves) like this very special, talented penguin who does not just dance to his own drummer. He has his own band! The first story in the Tacky series.

Tacky's perfect friends find him annoying until his odd behavior saves the day.

"Droll facial expressions, which still retain their animal quality, add more humor to a perceptive text about being different." Booklist, ALA
