Tacky the penguin unexpectedly leads his squad to victory in a cheerleading contest; PW praised the "pithy" text and "winsome" pictures. Ages 4-8.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Hip, hip hooray! Tacky's back, along with his proper penguin pals, Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect. They are in school now, and, as usual, Tacky has his own way of doing things. When the friends enter the great Penguin Cheering Contest, the main concern is whether Tacky can get the cheer right. He handles the situation in his own unique style and once again proves that although he's "an odd bird," he's certainly "a nice bird to have around." Although there is a touch of predictability to the story for those already familiar with previous stories, this one is a smooth, fun read. Munsinger's full-color illustrations are charming and subtle. The penguins wear sweaters and caps; Tacky wears his over a Hawaiian shirt, and his cap is askew. One minor reservation-two of the judges of the contest are a walrus and a polar bear. But if readers can believe in cheerleading penguins, then they'll believe that these judges are special guests imported from the Arctic. Tacky's fans will flip for this title.

Great for cheerleaders of all ages!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Cheers for Tacky (Tacky the Penguin) (Paperback)
This is a super little story about the one person who stands out in every group. This is great for a classroom and to read to cheerleaders. This aids in the understanding that the "odd" person may be the "WINNER"!! People of all ages can relate to Tacky and his friends!!

"Three Cheers for Tacky!",
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Three Cheers for Tacky (Tacky the Penguin) (Paperback)
"Three Cheers for Tacky" is about a penguin who wants to be just like everybody else/fit in with the rest of the crowd. He tries his best to copy the other penguins in trying to walk with his nose up straight in the air, he tries out for the cheer squad for the competition, and he tries to make a new cheer. It teaches that you can do anything that you want to do if you try hard enough, and by trying harder, you just might be able to do what you've always wanted to do. This is about a 1st- 2nd grade book. Yes, the book is very good and I recommend this to anyone who would want to read a humorous story.
