Synopses & Reviews
Tackys an odd bird, or Penguin rather, who likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud “Whats happening?” In fact, hes something of an eccentric, which wouldnt be a problem if all the other penguins werent such . . . conformists.
In their usual zany style, Lester and Munsinger demonstrate the problems and advantages of being an individual. Now in Spanish, Tacky is perfect for children learning Spanish and for Spanish-speaking children.
Review
