How can you tell penguins apart? By the color of their mittens, of course! But do penguins really play hide-and-seek, carry pink umbrellas, and shower on the backs of whales? In this wild guide, twin brothers Jean-Luc Coudray and Philippe Coudray–beloved for the bestselling Benjamin Bear series—bring us all the less-than-true truths and not-so-factual facts about the South Pole's silliest birds.
A fantastically goofy series of comic strips about the beloved and stately penguin.
