Tacky the Penguin is a cute book about being yourself. Tacky the Penguin is an odd bird and doesn't behave like all of the other penguins. He wears crazy Hawaiian shirts while all of the other penguins are in their tuxes. The other penguins find Tacky annoying until his odd behavior saves the day! I use this book with kindergarten and first grade students to teach lessons on tolerance, self-esteem, self-acceptance, etc...
