This week in library we read the true story, Pierre the Penguin, by Jean Marzollo. Pierre was an African Penguin who lived in a penguin colony at a California museum. One day he got sick and started losing all his feathers, and nothing seemed to help. Pierre was shunned from his colony and stranded on dry land, until his caretakers came up with an ingenious solution to help him get back in the water and on the road to recovery. Students enjoyed the sweet ending and loved coloring penguins while watching real penguins on the museum's live webcam!
