Description: Tacky the Penguin is unlike any other penguin—he’s loud, clumsy, and full of quirks. While his companions are neat and proper, Tacky’s odd ways often make him stand out. When danger arrives in the form of hunters, Tacky’s unique antics—singing off-key, silly dancing, and unpredictable moves—confuse the hunters so much that they abandon their plans. Instead of being embarrassed by Tacky, the other penguins realize that his differences are what saved them all. The story’s lively illustrations and humorous text highlight themes of individuality, courage, and the value of diversity. “Tacky in Trouble” reassures children that being yourself is not just okay—it’s sometimes exactly what the world needs.
