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.
