In this heartwarming holiday story, a Christmas penguin's wish comes true when he helps Santa recover a bag of toys.

"Dear Santa,"wrote Rollie,
"I know penguins don't fly.
But I sure wish that I
could give it a try."

Rollie the penguin has a special Christmas wish: He wants to be able to fly! On Christmas Eve, Santa asks him to help deliver the toys. But when a bag falls from the sleigh, Santa fears that the bag is lost forever.

This review is from: Christmas Penguin, The (level 1) (Hello Reader) (Paperback)

My son's dream is to fly. As a 3-year-old, the moral of the story was lost on him, but it is a very cute book that helps parents talk with kids about being proud of who they are and the talents they have. The writing style is very easy to read and the story is easy to understand. We will certainly put this in our Christmas box to get out and read every holiday season.
