Leo the penguin dreams about flying...not about learning to swim. The other penguins make fun of him, but that doesn't stop him from trying. Leo finally succeeds with the help of an albatross friend and an abandoned airplane. This one-time flight conveniently leads the other penguins to accept Leo--and he learns how to swim. Cartoonlike illustrations enhance the story.
