Bookroo's summary

In the icy expanse of Antarctica, a penguin shares the not-so-glamorous reality of his life. It's freezing, predators lurk, and finding family in a sea of identical faces is a challenge. This humorous tale invites readers to discover that even in a land of ice, problems persist. Will this penguin's candid confessions change your view of the 'lawless paradise'? Dive into a world where grumpiness knows no bounds and laughter is guaranteed. Join this penguin's journey and see if you can relate to his chilly woes.

From the publisher

This penguin has come to tell you that life in Antarctica is no paradise. For starters, it is FREEZING. Also, penguins have a ton of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mom in a big ol’ crowd of identical penguins? No, thank you. Yes, it seems there is no escaping the drudgery of your daily grind, whatever it might be. Or perhaps we’ve just learned that grumps are everywhere. . . .
