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 penguinsand a sneaky lesson in gratitude.

For one grumpy young penguin, there doesnt seem to be anything he wont complain about

My beak is cold.

I wish I could fly, but I cant.

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 kidsand knowing sighs from the adults reading it aloud.
