Penguin in Peril by Helen Hancocks - OPTIONAL

Hancocks, Helen Penguin in Peril.  PICTURE BOOK.  Templar (Candlewick), 2014.  $16.   

Three cats are in search of food.  A stop at a movies to watch a documentary inspires them to kidnap a penguin from the zoo to help them fish for food.  The penguin escapes and hightails it back to the zoo and safety.  

I snorted out loud several times during this romp.  I am not sure how well the sarcasm will translate for elementary students, though.  I’ll have to try it out on someone.
