Bookroo's summary
In a world of ice, a determined penguin sings to win over a confused hippo, hoping to forge an unexpected friendship. Can a heartfelt serenade turn their chilly world into a warm bond? Discover the whimsical journey of companionship in this delightful tale, where a penguin's loyalty and a hippo's curiosity create a cozy, twice-as-nice universe. Will the hippo embrace the penguin's offer of friendship, or will their differences keep them apart? Dive into this charming story and find out if music can truly bridge the gap between two unlikely pals.
From the publisher
Your Personal Penguin is an irrepressible, read-aloud, listen-along favorite for young children and the grown-ups who read to them. Fun to hold, the book tells the story of a slightly bewildered hippo and the loyal penguin who wants nothing more than to be his pal:
Now, lots of other penguins seem to be fine
in a universe of nothing but ice.
But if I could be yours, and you could be mine,
Our cozy little world would be twice as nice.
I want to be Your Personal Penguin.
The original song “Your Personal Penguin,” sung by Davy Jones of The Monkees, is available for download.
