The penguin pack fishes and plays all day. At night, they make a huddle to keep warm. One night, there was a terrible storm and when they woke up in the morning, the penguin pack was frozen together in their huddle. They were stuck fast like a giant ice pop. Their animal friends couldn't break them apart. The penguins set off across the ocean. They traveled by Iceberg Express, Whale Rail, and Albatross Airways and arrived at a shining city. Would they ever find someone who could help them? 

Penguin Huddle is a silly story with a cute ending about perseverance and friendship. It is fun to read and see the funny antics of the penguins. It is a little unbelievable because they should have melted out of their huddle way before they reached the city, but kids will enjoy the penguin's foolish fun.
