PENGUINS! If you have a younger patron who loves penguins, wildlife, and nature conservancy, then this book is for you. First of all: penguin pictures. Lots of them. Penguin pictures are definitely a plus. Also, there are penguins in Africa? Yup, there are, and they needed a little help here recently.

Most importantly though: penguins. PENGUINS!!
