Penguin's Hidden Talent (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781561456291)

The talent show is coming up and Penguin doesn't have a special talent to share--or does he?

All of Penguin's friends are excited about the upcoming talent show, but Penguin can't seem to figure out what he's good at. He tries juggling appliances with Bear, doing magic tricks with Rabbit, and burping the alphabet with Fox...but Penguin doesn't seem to be good at anything.

Unable to participate in the show, Penguin is left in charge of organizing the event. Without a chance at a trophy, Penguin feels very sad. But when his friends try to throw him a party to cheer him up, things don't go very smoothly. That's when Penguin discovers he might have a special skill, after all!

Author and illustrator Alex Latimer's quirky charm lights up the pages of this entertaining picture book about finding your true talent. Latimer's distinctive illustrations take the story beyond the text, adding humorous touches that will keep readers laughing on every page.
