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.
