Penguin's Special Christmas Tree
Jeannie St. John Taylor, Molly Idle
Hardcover
(Lobster Press, Sept. 10, 2007)
(ages 4 - 6) Penguin really wants to win "Santa's Best Tree Award," but he can't think of anything special enough to go on the top of his Christmas tree. Penguin's little Angel friend pitches in to help, and together they try all sorts of wacky ideas, including a confused frog, an energetic monkey, and soggy snowman, but nothing works. Just as the team starts to get discouraged, Penguin realizes the answer has been in front of him all along. This sweet, quirky tree-trimming adventure delivers a positive message about teamwork, friendship, and the importance of never giving up.
