The Little Penguin loves to explore and collect colorful gems on her excursions. When finding her treasures becomes more important than spending time with her friends, she sets out on increasingly risky expeditions to acquire more and more. Once the gems crowd her out of her home, she realizes that having the freedom to utilize her space and being generous of heart are the best treasures of all.
This charming social-emotional storybook empowers young readers to enjoy their toys and hobbies in moderation while appreciating the value of friendship and giving.
The Little Penguin is the 8th book in The Little Series. It’s an extra special book because it features gems that actually glitter on the front cover.
Themes include: Collecting, Moderation, Collections, Sharing, Giving, Friendship

“A thoroughly original social-emotional storybook that teaches kids to enjoy their toys and hobbies in moderation while appreciating the value of friendship and giving. The Little Penguin from Whimsical World is unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections.” ~ Midwest Book Review, Children’s Bookwatch Magazine
“ The Little Penguin by Sheri Fink is a sweet story that teaches children that instead of bringing them happiness, greed and selfishness will only result in loneliness. Sharing with the people around you is much better than keeping everything to yourself. This story was so well written with such an important message. Especially when they are younger, children tend to have a hard time sharing and I think this story will help teach them that it isn’t always best to keep nice things to yourself. This way everyone can share in the happiness. The bright and colorful illustrations for this book added to the charm of the story and will make it appealing to young children. I think that Fink did an amazing job with this story and I would recommend this for young children.” ~ Readers Favorite
