Penguin Problems by Jory John
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.
