Awesome illustrations; kind of a weird story. A tuxedo-clad boy visits the aquarium with his dad and comes home with a real live penguin. (His dad seems to think he acquired a stuffed penguin.) The boy and the penguin get into mischief, and are finally caught by the dad. But don't expect the ending you're expecting. The ending surprised me so much I read the book again from the beginning. I'm afraid this will go right over the heads of my four-year-old story time audience, but it might be worth a try. ( )

A pleasant surprise. I'm starting to think I may have a fondness for penguins... ( )

Amazing!!! ( )

Primary. This book is about a young boy who sees penguins at the aquarium and decides to take one home. He gives it a home at his house, but has to keep it from his father, who eventually ends up finding out, but accepts the penguin. I think this could be fun and silly for students to read on their own if they want.
