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 lower level text that tells the story of the little penguin. Use on a lesson about penguins. Great illustrations will keep students interested in the text.

Summary:
The Little Penguins Tale is about a Nanny penguin who tells a tale about how a young penguin ran away. The young penguin went and danced with gooney birds, and then went to lay down for a nap. He was then snatched up by a whale and was eaten, but then penguins didn't like the end of that
Personal Reaction:
I think this a good book to read to children to teach them that if they run away or do something alone they might end up in some trouble.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. Make a penguin by painting the bottom of your foot and putting it on a piece of paper, add wings and then eyes and a nose.
2. Draw a picture of the penguin dancing with the gooney birds, and other animals.
