A review copy was provided

WALLY THE WARM-WEATHER PENGUIN
by Stephanie M. Ward
illustrated by Vanessa Landin

Wally is an Emperor Penguin from Antarctica who isn't exactly like the other penguins. Wally is always cold and dreams of life on a tropical island. When Wally learns about a place that is always sunny and warm, he sets sail for the Galapagos Islands and discovers an amazing world of tap-dancing crabs, racing hundred-year-old tortoises and diving birds with bright blue feet. With clever rhyming text and brilliant, colorful illustrations, children will love visiting the Galapagos Islands with Wally and his memorable friends.

My Review
What a DARLING book!
Not only is it fun to read, but you learn along the way.

Adorable pictures will capture any audience and the story has a little humor to it too :)

I highly recommend this book!
Perfect to read to a child-- or to have an older child read it to you!
A book the whole family will love!
