Gus and Gertie and the Missing Pearl

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Diane deGroat. While the penguins Gus and Gertie wait for a taxi to take them to their vacation hotel, they meet a "scumm[y] swarm of seagoing scallywags" who hoodwink Gertie out of her valuable pearl. As Gus examines the Polaroid pictures he's taken, he finds clues to the identity of the thief. Watercolor illustrations show the photographs in this silly, though slight, mystery.
