Little Penguin's Tale

Grand Nanny Penguin had seven little penguins and she told a story about a little penguin who did not listen to Gran Nanny's tales. So as she was telling the tale, one little penguin snuck off by himself just like in Grand Nanny's tales. Now there are only six little penguins listening. The little penguin who went off had a great adventure. He was sliding on his tummy up and down the snowy mountains, dancing with The Gooney Birds, and then he followed them to a Walrus polar Club.

Inside the club, there was a big party. Little Penguin had so much fun, he cried "look at me. I'm the wildest of them all!" As he walked out of the club, the little penguin was extremely tired and he fell asleep near the edge of the ice. Next thing he knows he show more is in the mouth of a great whale. The little penguin was clever enough to jump out of the whale's mouth and run back home. He looked back at his tail and realized that the giant whale rip of his tail feathers.
"And that's the end of little Penguin's tale".

One thing neat that the author did was go back and forth between the little Penguin's adventure and the story that Grand Nanny Penguin told. It had a parallel plot. As Grand Nanny told her story, whatever happened in her story happened to little penguin.

This book was cute and could be great for kids who like to wander off, but don't realize they can get hurt or lost. Since it takes place in the artic, it also teaches kids what penguins do such as sliding down snow mountains on their bellies.
I love when authors throw the title, of the book, into the story... or do they finish writing the book and find the title within? Either way, you get that "Ah-ha" moment and it's exciting! show less

Searching for fun in his snowy polar world, Little Penguin dances with the gooney birds, cavorts at the Walrus Polar club, and narrowly escapes being eaten by a shale.

Just as in the story that Grand Nanny Penguin is telling, Little Penguin slides down hills, dances with wild, silly, goony birds, and almost gets eaten by a whale.

Little Penguin's tale is very interesting! The end was quite funny. I think it will be a very good book for elementary school students. It has sort of a joke at the end, which I found pretty funny.

A little penguin doesn't listen to his Grand Nanny. He runs away and plays and dances with all the other animals in the polar lands. Just before be gets eaten by a big wale, he escapes and runs back home. This is a good story for primary students. I think it is good to teach students to listen to parents, teachers, and other adults.

The book was about a older penguin telling young penguins a tale of long long ago and how a little penguin went off by himself and found a group of friends. They sailed to a walrus club and danced. When the little penguin got tired he fell asleep by the sea and almost got eaten by a whale. The little penguin got away and made it back to his friends. The little penguin lost a few tail feathers. I really enjoyed the book and it was funny.

A little penguin goes on an adventure while his grandma tells a story to the other penguins.This story is good to use to show students that listening to their parents and teachers can be good and can even save them from getting hurt or in trouble.
