Like so many of us, Our Pal Penguin has grown tired of the snow and cold. He has skied. He has sledded. He has skated. What is an industrious yet weather-challenged penguin to do? Why, go to the beach, of course, where he befriends a crab and learns a valuable lesson: it's not where you go, but who you spend time with. Another adorable outing from Salina Yoon.
