(3) K-3 A dragon who can't lay an egg sets out to find one. Her adopted egg produces a baby penguin who is teased for being different ("You can't fly"; "You can't breathe fire"; etc.). This frame story, which features fiery and icy illustrations as needed and a quiet message about the depth of adoptive parents' love, concludes with a catch-in-your-throat twist.
