Five little penguin are sitting on the ice when they see a seal coming after them. So they take to the ocean and swim as fast as they can to escape. The ending is unexpected and fun.

This is a simple story written in a classic rhyme kids will recognize. The text is short and the illustrations are excellent. This is a nice pick for anyone who loves penguins or animal stories. The rhyming patterns makes it a fun one to read aloud.
