Fans of previous adventures of the spunky little penguin will
welcome this latest, which is probably Tacky's goofiest escapade
yet. While his boring fellow penguins nap comfortably atop their
iceberg, Tacky takes off on a solitary ice-surfing expedition,
landing on a tropical isle. An elephant mistakes his billowing
flowered shirt for a bouquet and takes Tacky home to dress up her
dreary kitchen table. Convincing the deluded elephant that he's a
penguin not a posy takes some doing, but Tacky finally manages it
with his usual relish, leaving behind with his hostess a colorful
reminder of his unexpected visit. The illustrations will sell the
story.
Booklist, ALA The story will appeal to children who know that
making a mess can cause trouble. The soft, watercolor illustrations
and simple story line make this a good choice for reading
aloud.
