Kenneth won't accept Little Penguin's apology for eating his lollipop. Little Penguin asks readers to make funny faces to cheer Kenneth up. A new lollipop solves some problems but creates others. The digitally colored pen-and-ink illustrations juxtapose icy seascapes with goofy expressions and antics. Silly text in a bold, elongated font and slapstick illustrations combine for a humorous take on friendship and ownership.

With a case of unrelenting hiccups (from chili night), Little Penguin calls upon the book's audience to give him a good scare. Distracted by readers, the bird eventually gets a hiccup-stopping fright when his orca friend breaches the water ("ROAR!"). With sharp, digitally colored illustrations of amiable penguins dotting ice floes, the silly interactive book will make for an enjoyably noisy storytime.
