The Penguin Strut Fashion Show — Carole Marsh

It was a cold day on Phillip Island. Phhhhreezing cold day! The little penguins were having a blast - of cold air that is. A monsoon of snow blew in from the southern coast of Australia. But the little penguins didn't mind. They were not cold at all. In fact, they adored phrrrrrigid air! Suddenly a fuss of fog began to roll up onto the island. "It is certainly very phogggy!" said Phred. and so begins the based-on-truth tale of some penguins, an oil spill, and a call to arms (or rather, knitting needles) as folks from around the world rush to make ski sweaters to keep the wee little penguins warm. How proud are the penguins of their colorful new attire? You'll see! The heart-warming book also includes the true Australian story this tale is based upon and how to knit your own little penguin sweater!
