About this work of fiction
Penguin by Dunbar, Polly is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.
A quirky new tale from a rising talent in which a bossy little boy receives a surprising comeuppance. When Ben rips open his present, he finds a penguin inside. "Hello, Penguin!" he says. "What shall we play?" But Penguin says nothing. Even when Ben tickles its belly, sings a funny song, does a dizzy dance, stands on his head, sticks out his tongue, and resorts to increasingly rude and drastic measures, Penguin makes no response. What will it take for Penguin to say something or for Ben to understand what Penguin has to say? Fresh, spare illustrations bring whimsy to this wonderful tale, in which a silent Penguin turns marvelously eloquent and a little boy finally gets his hearts desire.
It is typically read by readers looking for immersive, entertainment-first reading.
