Your Personal Penguin

Sandra Boynton's 'Your Personal Penguin' is a delightful, rhyming picture book that tells the story of an earnest penguin who is absolutely set on becoming the personal penguin for a gentle hippo. With Boynton's signature whimsical illustrations and catchy verse, this book explores themes of friendship, belonging, and the simple joy of connection. It is perfect for young children and grown-ups to read aloud together, offering a comforting and humorous narrative about finding your special someone. The original song, sung by Davy Jones, adds another layer of fun for families.

Your Personal Penguin is an irrepressible, read-aloud, listen-along favorite for young children and the grown-ups who read to them. Fun to hold, the book tells the story of a slightly bewildered hippo and the loyal penguin who wants nothing more than to be his pal: Now, lots of other penguins seem to be fine in a universe of nothing but ice. But if I could be yours, and you could be mine, Our cozy little world would be twice as nice. I want to be Your Personal Penguin. The original song "Your Personal Penguin," sung by Davy Jones of The Monkees, is available for download.
