Tacky The Penguin

Tacky is an odd bird who marches to the beat of a different drummer. Tacky’s perfect friends find him annoying until his eccentric behavior saves the day.

Your child will love tacky. It’s a fun story about conventions and conformism.

Suggested Activity: Watch the animated movie Happy Feet. It’s very similar to Tacky.
