Summary:
Instead of performing in the annual talent show, Penguin
helps organize it because he cannot identify his own special talent, but when
the show is over and the performers throw a party to show how much they
appreciate Penguin's work, what he excels at becomes quite clear.
Review:
This story is sweet, simple and packs a meaningful message.
The illustrations, pencil drawings, complement the book perfectly. I love that
the book is humorous while also teaching children a great lesson. The book
might actually be funnier to adults than to children, but both age groups will
really get a kick out of the book. My favorite part is the two page spread of
the “guest speaker” and “famous band” that penguin hired to perform at the
talent show. Children and adults alike will enjoy pouring over the
illustrations and coming to the conclusion that no matter how insignificant you
think your talents are, they will always be appreciated by somebody!
