Penny and the Penguin

Why don’t penguins fly? They’re birds, right? And birds fly! Penny decides to do what should have been done a long time ago: teach a penguin how to fly. She’s got some great ideas up her sleeve, and the perfect little penguin to teach! But the penguin doesn’t seem that interested in her lesson plans.

Discover with Penny what penguins already know. Penguins DO fly!
