Pinkerton's paternal longings are stirred by his owner Emily's new knowledge that a father emperor penguin cradles his egg on his feet. Kellogg's watercolor washes and joyfully detailed acrylic paintings tell much of the story, as Pinkerton first cradles a football on his paws for a whole day, then disrupts a football game, and later turns a dog show into a rollicking fiasco.
