It would be tough, but I think you would have to do it. Just as the delightful and courageous Attila does in this charming book about being yourself, finding friends, and enjoying it. In this unusual and epic tale a Penguin, a vulture and an eagle (that is really a hedgehog) form an unlikely alliance as they over come all in the search of the perfect home. Written with great wit and tremendous energy by Nichola McAuliffe this unput-downable book is a brilliant first reader for all children who want a great story with lots of adventure.
