Tacky was an odd bird, and it's hard living with other penguins named Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect! A tale sure to delight your youngster...especially if he feels abit odd himself!

Tacky is a unique penguin that just doesn't fit in. His uniqueness is what ends up saving all the penquins in the end. Great moral lesson being different is okay!

Tacky, his friends and his adventures are hilarious! My second grade students loved reading the book. Some of them memorized Tacky's "song". This book is fun and entertaining!

We loved Tacky! This is the best of all the Tacky books. It's the first, and most original and wonderful, though my children also enjoyed the others, too. This was one of the first books I sent to my brother for his own children.
