Three Cheers for Tacky rocks!
Tacky the Penguin is a odd bird but everyone loves him. This book is great for children who are worried about being perfect. Tacky can rarely follow expectations but has a big heart and often saves the day. In this book he creates an original cheer for his team that helps them win the prize of blue ties and manages to keep the judges awake during the competition. A fun humorous read with the sweet message.

Finding your unique self
This is such a sweet story about being different and being accepted. I had my kindergartners color a penguin clip art pic and draw a pic of something they tried hard to do and succeeded. They colored a paper bow clip art tie and I taped it to their shirts. I made crepe paper and popsicle stick pompons and we repeated the cheers Tacky made. They loved it and understood itโs ok to be different.

Leant this to someone who never gave it back. Needed to replace it as the children love it so much.
