December 2016 Book of the Month | One of our Books of the Year 2016 | A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month November 2016 Ever thought you had problems? Try being a Penguin! There’s too much snow, it’s too cold, the sea has too many dangerous creatures in it, everyone looks the same.
In fact, there seems to be no end to the problems facing a young penguin! But all is not as completely hopeless it seems. A wise walrus offers good advice and Penguin begins to feel that the world is not quite as hopeless as he had thought. Lane Smith’s stylish illustrations brilliantly capture universal emotions of loneliness, isolation and the widespread feeling of being ‘different’. ~ Julia Eccleshare

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.
