This is one of my favorite books from childhood. I remember laughing and laughing, and then wanting a peguin for a pet. This is a classic that every child should have in thier library.

Excellent book that my students loved! It was a wonderful novel to read as a class and greatly expanded their background knowledge of geography, climate, and animals.
