A Pangolin's Lament
Poor pangolin—he's trying to explain who he is, but all the other animals keep getting confused.
You have scales—like a snake? A long tongue—like a frog? A strong scentˆlike a skunk? You can roll in a ball—like an armadillo? And a name that sounds a lot like... penguin? We love penguins!
"No, no, no! I am not a penguin! There are no penguins here!"
But then, just when it couldn't get worse, a penguin arrives!!
What's a poor pangolin got to do to be understood?!
“The straightforward facts and cheeky dialogue are engaging, well-paced, and presented clearly in either poster-shaped rectangles or speech balloons.” —The Horn Book
