Penguinaut!
illustrated by Emma Yarlett (Scholastic)

Orville lives at the zoo, surrounded by animal pals who go on exciting adventures. A hang gliding rhino! A deep-sea diving giraffe!

Orville struggles to keep up, until one day he concocts an adventure all his own: build a spaceship and fly to the moon all by himself.

Can one tiny penguin get there alone?
