Bookroo's summary
Tacky the penguin stands out with his Hawaiian shirt and quirky dance moves, much to the dismay of his synchronized penguin pals. As the Penguin Cheering Contest looms, Tacky's eccentricity seems like a hindrance. But could his unique flair be the key to victory? With the pressure mounting, Tacky must decide whether to conform or embrace his individuality. Will his unconventional style lead to unexpected triumph, or will it cost his team the win? Dive into this delightful tale of self-acceptance and discover if being different is the secret to success.
From the publisher
Tacky the Penguin is back, this time trying to compete with Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect in the iceberg-wide Penguin Cheering Contest. But will Tacky ever be able to learn the synchronized moves and win the contest? “Hip, hip hooray! Tacky’s back, along with his proper penguin pals . . . Tacky fans will flip for this title.” –School Library Journal
