Product Description

Tacky the Penguin is a total nonconformist who lives with a group of formal, proper penguins. But it is Tacky who foils the plans of the three critters with "get-rich-quick plans" that threaten the penguins' existence. With his un-penguin-like antics, Tacky puzzles the hunters to such an extent that they're firmly convinced that they are not in the "land of the pretty penguins." This is a rollicking tale that clearly shows that there are advantages to being an individual. Sure to elicit lots of chuckles from young readers in Kindergarten through Grade 2.

Publisher's Description

Tacky’s the odd bird out among all his friends. Will this nonconformist teach old penguins some new tricks and help save the day?

Tacky the Penguin is a delightful tale about being true to yourself—even when it means being a little different from everybody else.

Tacky likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his friends with a loud, “What’s happening?” His fellow penguins find his odd behavior somewhat bothersome.

But when fearsome poachers come to the iceberg hunting for penguins, Tacky’s odd ways may be just the thing that saves the day.

From beloved children’s book author Helen Lester and cherished illustrator Lynn Munsinger, the funny Tacky the Penguin books follow the adventures of one superlative penguin and should not be missed!

Editorial Reviews

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