Tacky in Trouble by Helen Lester

The first thing I notice in this book is the name of the other penguins: Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly and Perfect. But then there is another penguin who is not doing anything the same as these other five penguins and his name is Tacky. That is what I disliked about this book the most. It basically was saying that the penguin who didn't go along with the rest of them was different. I took this as, "you must follow the norm, or the neat, perfect, and good ones to be liked and treated with respect.

The way I belive the author is trying to portray this penguin named Tacky is that everyone is different and there are some that are not like everyone else but we still love them anyway. I think it is very unusual how the book sort of contradicts itself. It wants to portray people as everyone is not the same but the book is saying that everyone is the same there are just a few odd ones out of the pack.
