Tacky Goes to Camp by Helen Lester


Lester, Helen Tacky Goes to Camp, illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. Houghton Mifflin, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. $16.00. Tacky and jis perfect penguin pals are ready for a a time at Camp Whoopihaha – the perfect penguins with every needful things – and Tacky with everything he just wants. The entire time, the differences between the penguins are obvious, until the night of Scary Stories, when Tacky’s messy, avant-garde ways save the day. I think this is my favorite of Tacky’s adventures; his charm comes shining through on every page. EL – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
