Bookroo's summary

Meet Tacky, a penguin who stands out with his splashy cannonballs and boisterous greetings. While his fellow penguins prefer uniformity, Tacky's unique ways stir up both challenges and unexpected advantages. Can individuality thrive in a world of conformity? Discover how Tacky's quirks might just save the day in this delightful tale of embracing differences.

From the publisher

Tacky’s an odd bird, or Penguin rather, who likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud “What’s happening?” In fact, he’s something of an eccentric, which wouldn’t be a problem if all the other penguins weren’t such . . . conformists.In their usual zany style, Lester and Munsinger demonstrate the problems and advantages of being an individual. Now in Spanish, Tacky is perfect for children learning Spanish and for Spanish-speaking children.
