(3) K-3 "I found a polar bear, Mom...and I'm keeping him." Proprietary penguin Virgil doesn't like it when his new "pet," Owen, takes charge of his own fun: "The polar bear splished and splashed with the terns. Everyone laughed. Virgil did not laugh." The friends-not-pets message is delivered with a light hand. Cartoony pen and watercolor illustrations show one miffed penguin and a carefree polar bear.
