Free El Pinguino Taky (Tacky The Penguin) Ebooks Online
Tacky’s an odd bird, or Penguin rather, who likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud “What’s happening?” In fact, he’s something of an eccentric, which wouldn’t be a problem if all the other penguins weren’t such . . . conformists.In their usual zany style, Lester and Munsinger demonstrate the problems and advantages of being an individual. Now in Spanish, Tacky is perfect for children learning Spanish and for Spanish-speaking children.

This is a fun book with a message about acceptance and tolerance. Taky is a strange bird tolerated other penguins. But when Tacky's extravagant ways inspire the other penguins and together they save their community from hunters, the other penguins embrace his differences. Children love and identify with the characters. Adult readers will have endless opportunities to do silly voice of Taky, his penguin friends and the hunters. My only complaint is not about the book, it's about the ordering process. I ordered 24 books for a birthday party to be delivered by Prime 2 day delivery. The receipt said the books were "In Stock." It took almost 10 days to get the books because they were not all being shipped from the same warehouse. I would have preferred knowing this so I could have pieced together other sources and receive the books more quickly. Next time I will plan ahead knowing that large orders labelled "In Stock" may not necessarily arrive when they say they will.
My son is 4. Simple sentences easy to understand. Helps to explain we can be different, have our own personality. No need to always follow everybody's rules. My son loves it and ME TOO !
This book was suggested to me by my PhD advisor as a good book to use with the Spanish-speaking children in my study about bilingual reading. The book is nicely translated and fun to read. The illustrations caught my kids' attention and the storyline is witty and funny. I am glad to find a good translation of an English-language original book and I'm looking forward to more high quality publications in Spanish like this one.
Hmmmm. I was really bummed with this purchase. It could of been better if the text was not re-written. All they needed to do is enlarge the pages so we can read it. The text(rewritten text) didn't match the picture. Wish I didn't spend $5 on the e-book, I knew I should of bought the hard copy. :(
