Penguin and Little Blue

Written by Megan McDonald

Illustrated by Katherine Tillotson

Most of us agree–penguins included–that there is no pace like home. Also no business like show business.

For Penguin and Little Blue, home is Antarctica and far, far away. They are both missing all one million three hundred twenty-eight thousand and forty eight of their feathered friends.

And show business is had work. The only homelike treats anywhere in their Kansas hotel are an ice machine and a bathtub 9much more fun than the pool they have to dive, dive dive into for spectators). After long days signing autographs Little Blue and Penguin dream of enjoying the white ice, blue ice, pancake ice, pencil ice, ice cakes, ice falls and fast ice of home.

But oh how can they escape show business and reach Antarctica?
