Publisher Description

When well-mannered Elliot reluctantly visits the aquarium with his distractible father, he politely asks whether he can have a penguin—then removes one from the penguin pool into his backpack. The fun of caring for a penguin in a New England Victorian house is followed by a surprise revelation by Elliot’s father.

“The book’s humor is built on gentle misunderstandings between father and son (when Elliot asks for a penguin, his father assumes he means a stuffed one from the aquarium gift shop)…The revelation that they’re not so dissimilar after all is about as sweet as it gets.”

— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
