After his father leaves town to drum up sales for his cup-making business, Pucca the penguin tries to help out by molding and painting a special cup that looks just like his babysitter, Ms. Parrot. Her delight yields orders for more individualized cups. Friendly animals (and cute cups) fill the pages, but the plot is slight.
