Description
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 penguins—and a sneaky lesson in gratitude.
For one grumpy young penguin, there doesn’t seem to be anything he won’t complain about…
“My beak is cold.”
“I wish I could fly, but I can’t.”
“Everybody looks the same as me.”
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 “funny and acerbic” (The New York Times), this “classic comedy” (Publishers Weekly) is sure to elicit mischievous giggles from kids—and knowing sighs from the adults reading it aloud.
