We are taking our basketful of books about penguins back to the library tonight to get a basketful of books about the Middle Ages/knights/castles/etc. We have learned a lot of factual stuff about penguins, particularly Emperor penguins. (Ask Brianna or Micah or Kiara about the blubber experiment, which was one of our favorite learning activities. Actually we are all pretty in awe of Emperor penguins right now.) But we also enjoyed reading helen Lester's books about Tacky the penguin. Lots of fun. This morning we reread our favorites, and I just wanted to keep this delightful line: "A penguin full of porridge does not fall like a snowflake."
