Tacky is back and ready to help his team win the shiny first-place bow ties in the penguin cheering contest. "Hip, hip hooray! . . . Tacky's fans will flip for this title". —School Library Journal. Full color.

  • Make Way for Books Annotation

Tacky’s teammates may look the part, but it’s his cheerful absurdity that saves the day. This offbeat tale flips conformity on its head with humor and heart. A clever reminder that true team spirit often comes wrapped in unexpected feathers—and that joyfully being yourself is worth cheering for.
