Turtle's Penguin Day

After hearing a bedtime story about penguins, Little Turtle decides to become one. The next day he dons red slippers and his grandfather’s black jacket and sets off for school, where his teacher, Ms. Dog, and classmates are remarkably accommodating: all day they read penguin books, practice passing balls (the way penguins do with their eggs) and toboggan down the playground slide.
