Peanut the Penguin
By Aruna M. Lepore
Peanut is a little penguin with a special gift–a beautiful singing voice. He wants to use this gift to sing to the other penguins that live on the shore. But when Peanut only sings at night, he wakes the penguins, and instead of making them happy, he makes them annoyed. Little Peanut tries to find a way to make everyone, including himself, happy.
