Penguin

by Polly Dunbar

Ben is overjoyed to find a penguin inside his present—what could be better? He does everything he can to get Penguin to talk: he jokes, he dances, he even sings! But no matter what Ben tries, Penguin stays silent. Frustrated and a little sad, Ben doesn’t know what else to do… until a rather unexpected encounter with a lion changes everything. At last, Penguin speaks—and what he says shows that sometimes actions speak louder than words, and true friendship can be quietly powerful.
