Tacky the penguin [electronic resource]. Helen Lester.
An offbeat penguin shows his peers the power of individuality in this humorous tale from the author of Pookins Gets Her Way . Tacky is an odd bird. He likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud "What's happening?" In fact, he's something of an eccentric, which wouldn't be a problem if all the other penguins weren't such...conformists. When intimidating visitors invade their peaceful, nice, icy land, it'll take a lot more than a bunch of perfect penguins to save the day. Thank goodness Tacky's such an odd bird! "This book is must reading for any kid—or grown-up—who refuses to follow the pack."— Publishers Weekly
