The Chilly Little Penguin

Once, there was a little penguin called Perry. Perry and his family lived at the South Pole. It was always very cold. One day, Perry found a box. He was something yummy inside. But he was too cold to eat it. Perry went to see his grandpa. "I need to get warm, Grandpa," he said. "Try skating," said Grandpa. "That will warm you up." Perry went to the frozen lake. He skated up and down and round and round. Perry went to see his grandma. "I need to get warm, Grandma," he said. "Try swimming," said Grandma. "That will warm you up." Perry dived into the water. He swam up and down and round and rouund. He swam all afternoon. Perry went to see his sister, Pippi. "I need to get warm, Pippi," he said. "Try sliding down the hill," said Pippi. "That will warm you up." Perry went to the top of the hill. He slid all the way down and round and round. He slid around all evening. "Are you warm now?" everyone asked. "Yes, I'm boiling," said Perry. He opened the box. "Now I can enjoy this ice cream," he said.

This was very cute. I wanted to skate reading this book and I wanted to see the penguin reading this book.
