A penguin in red bowler hat and green bow tie searches for his missing friend, a "spectacular dancer." He meets two more penguins, who save him from a saw-toothed seal. The absent friend is revealed as the first penguin's reflection in the ice; the three new friends waddle contentedly into the sunset. Hand-lettered text and robust motion lines emphasize urgency and support the spirited, comical dialogue.
