Tacky the Penguin

Product features

Tacky the Penguin is a total nonconformist who lives with a group of formal, proper penguins. But it's Tacky who foils the plans of three critters with "get-rich-quick plans" that threaten the penguins' existence.

With his loud, un-penguin-like antics, Tacky puzzles the hunters to such an extent that they're firmly convinced they cannot be in the "land of the pretty penguins." This is a rollicking tale that clearly shows that there are advantages to being an individual.

This book is must reading for any kid - or grown-up - who refuses to follow the pack - and is sure to elicit lots of chuckles from young readers!

Extract from the book

There once lived a penguin. His home was a nice icy land he shared with his companions. His companions were named Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly and Perfect. His name was Tacky. Tacky was an odd bird.
