| Publisher Description: The talent show is coming up and Penguin doesn't have a special talent to showcase--or does he? All of Penguin's friends are excited about the upcoming talent show, but Penguin can't seem to figure out what his talent is. He tries juggling appliances with Bear, doing magic tricks with Rabbit, and burping the alphabet with Fox, but he doesn't seem to be good at any of it. Stuck behind the scenes organizing, Penguin leaves the contest saddened, the only one who hasn't received a medal. When his friends decide to throw him a party, but their festivities fizzle, Penguin discovers he might have some special skills after all as he sets to work planning them all the best party ever. Author and illustrator Alex Latimer's quirky charm lights up the pages of this entertaining picture book about finding your true talent. Latimer's distinctive illustrations take the story beyond the text, adding humorous touches that will keep readers laughing on every page. |
Contributor Bio(s): Latimer, Alex: - Alex Latimer lives in South Africa near the border of a national park. So when not writing or drawing, he spends his free time shooing baboons out of his lounge. He has written several picture books for children. |
