"Three Cheers for Tacky!"

"Three Cheers for Tacky" is about a penguin who wants to be just like everybody else/fit in with the rest of the crowd. He tries his best to copy the other penguins in trying to walk with his nose up straight in the air, he tries out for the cheer squad for the competition, and he tries to make a new cheer. It teaches that you can do anything that you want to do if you try hard enough, and by trying harder, you just might be able to do what you've always wanted to do. This is about a 1st- 2nd grade book. Yes, the book is very good and I recommend this to anyone who would want to read a humorous story.

Even Mommy loves Tacky!

My daughter & I loved this book so much, we even know Tacky's cheer by heart: 1,2,3 left... A,B,C, right... flop down, roll over, Say, what's for supper! this is a beautiful way to show children that being different is okay.

Great for cheerleaders of all ages!!

This is a super little story about the one person who stands out in every group. This is great for a classroom and to read to cheerleaders. This aids in the understanding that the "odd" person may be the "WINNER"!! People of all ages can relate to Tacky and his friends!!

Captivating content for children

Tacky is such an odd bird! My child was drawn to his excentric style of dress, and the rhyming of the cheers. She had this book memorized in no time, and it has always been one of our favorite books to read together. I recommend it highley!
