On New Year's Day, a family receives a penguin in the mail. The next day they receive another one. The special deliveries continue throughout the entire year. During this time the family struggles with many issues such as what to feed the penguins, where to keep the penguins, will the penguins ever stop arriving, and who could be sending them these animals? Mother says this kind of joke reminds her of someone, but she can't think who. 365 Penguins is an over-sized picture book that not only tells a humerous story, but informs the reader about penguins while also teaching multiplication principles.
