On a spontaneous visit to the aquarium, straight-laced and proper Elliot discovers his dream pet: a penguin. When he asks his father if he may have one (please and thank you), his father says yes. Elliot should have realized that Dad was probably thinking of a toy penguin, not a real one…Clever illustrations and a wild surprise ending make this sly, silly tale a kid-pleaser from start to finish. * "The surprise ending has the same satisfying sensibility as Jules Feiffer's Bark, George. A real kid charmer that will elicit 'Read it again!' responses."-- School Library Journal, starred review * "Charming illustrations [draw] the eye to funny little details . . . Highly recommended."--Library Media Connection, starred review
