But wait! One of the seven little peguins isn't listening either.

Just like the penguin of long, long ago, he's sneaking away into the snowy, polar world to have some fun.

As Granny relates each exciting episode of her story, the seventh little peguin encounters the very same adventures in his travels.

The surprising climax of Grand Nanny's story has her little penguins dancing in the snow. Readers will return again and again to Little Penguin's Taleto discover how some of us can just hear a story - and others have to experience it.
