Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester

 This is such a fun book! All the penguins do everything perfectly. All the penguins, except for Tacky. Tacky does things his own unique way, and far from perfectly.

One of the great things about this book, are the illustrations by Lunn Munsinger. When the penguins are marching, swimming, or singing perfectly, the other penguins include Tacky in their play. Yes, some of the things Tacky does bothers them, but they don't say anything and they aren't cruel to him.

One day the penguins are all in danger but thanks to Tacky's unique style, he saves the day and all the penguins are grateful for their odd little friend.
