Two penguins find their nesting site too crowded, so one sets off on a trip around the world to find a better home. Follow her as she visits different islands and sends back messages to her mate
Schotter's tongue-in-cheek, er, make that tongue-in-jowl, tale of a less-than-prudent pig whose appetite nearly lands him in the sausage section will be of particular delight to Francophiles. The author clearly adores the culture (especially the edible portion of it) and takes particular glee in assigning her characters names with double entendres. Unable to resist the temptation of Mademoiselle Le Sucre's delicious pastries, Monsieur Cochon visits her bakery, which is perilously close to the charcuterie, and falls into the clutches of the evil butchers, Monsieur Decouper and Henri La Faim.
In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our hero discovers that, unlike most of his friends, he doesn't have teeth, and worries that he's missing out on the Tooth Fairy's magical visits.
