Penguin in Peril

(4) K-3 For a fish-catching scheme, three hungry cats steal a penguin from a zoo. He makes a break for it and, thanks to a little bird, ultimately reaches safety. Readers expecting a plot twist will be disappointed: the story's cleverness is restricted to the urbane illustrations, particularly one displaying the underground network of pipes that connects a public fountain with the city zoo.
