Lester, Helen Happy Birdday Tacky! Illustrated by
Lynn Munsinger, 32 pgs. Houghton Mifflin
Books for Children, 2013. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK.
It’s Tacky the Penguin’s Birdday and his friends want to make it the
best birdday ever! They spend hours
working on cards, songs, presents, ice cream and cake. They even book a surprise entertainer,
Twinklewebs theDance Queen from Iglooslavia. While all of the birdday
preparations are going on, Tacky invents another one of his quirky and hilarious
dances: The Flapwaddle Dance. While practicing his new dance, Tacky is summoned
to the party. It seems that anything
that can go wrong at the party does go wrong. But Tacky takes no notice and
begins to show his friends his new dance and he eventually saves the day. This is another great addition to the Tacky
series. I am partial to the first
book. Sequels, including this one, are
funny, colorful and bright, but Tacky the
Penguin is simply one of the best books out there. Pre-K. EL (K-3).
ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
