Penguin Blue tries to fly a kite; it flies him instead. All the animals who try to help end up airborne as well, and they land on a lush island. Ingenuity and the help of new friends whooossh the accidental travelers back to "solid ice." Jaunty rhyming text propels the lighthearted story forward; digital illustrations present the situation and characters with deadpan humor.
