Why is That Penguin Wearing Glasses? That question, and many others you may have, after looking at the cover, will be answered. This is a very humorous story, inspired by a character created by Thomas Holloway, my Grandson.
In the story, you will be introduced to Penelope, a penguin. Her friends and family call her Penny, a very common name for penguins. It introduces the reader to her family and tells of her very special relationship she had with her grandfather, who everyone affectionately called Papa Billy.
You will discover why Penny wears glasses and just what it is really like growing up as a penguin. The reader will see that a penguin's life is not so much different than their own when it comes to having fun, love of life, and family.
The book tells of time spent at Papa Billy's house and shares one of her favorite stories that he would tell Penny and her brothers. The tale he tells them is about the adventures, or misadventures of Pelly the Singing Pelican. A very common name for pelicans. That story will answer another question you may have "Why is there a pelican on the cover?"
While a children's book with heartfelt illustrations, this is a story any parent or grandparent will love to read to their family. You will see, a penguin's life is not so complicated.
