In this sweet tale of determination, penguin Orville is small, but he longs for "big adventures." When Orville plans a trip to the moon, his much-bigger zoo-animal friends question whether Orville can manage the trip on his own. But the unflappable flightless bird builds a penguin-size spaceship and blasts off. Expressive, detailed mixed-media illustrations clearly depict the animals' love and pride for the little hero.
