Penguin is hungry, but he’s tired of eating the same old fish.  He’s heard rumors of something called a “bolar pear” so he sets off on a very long journey to find this new delicacy.

Of course it is silly that a penguin would travel all the way to the North Pole and back in the space of a single meal - or that the polar bear would follow it the whole way and the penguin not recognize what he is looking for.  Your tolerance for this book is going to depend on your tolerance for mildly funny nonsense.
