What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

This delightful color illustrated book tells the story of two baby birds who become friends: Gregory the gull and Hudson the penguin. As they grow, they do everything together–until the time comes for Gregory to fly. Hudson tries to fly along with his gull friend, only to find out that penguins can’t fly. No matter how hard he tries, he simply cannot fly. Later, when the gulls spread out their net to fish they let Hudson help them. That’s when Gregory and the other gulls discover something special that only a penguin can do. He is able to dive deep beneath the ocean’s surface, take the net with him, and bring up a large catch of fish for all to enjoy. One day, as the birds are fishing, Hudson discovers that his friend Gregory is missing. Can anybody find and rescue poor Gregory? On this important day, the other gulls learn how good and valuable a friend Hudson the penguin truly is. Illustrations on every page.
