      Synopsis

      It’s common knowledge that Tacky was never the best- dressed penguin, but when he and his friends prepare for the arrival of the emperor, Tacky gets carried away and ends up in more than just elegant attire!

      Tacky brings his own unique brand of humor and entertainment to the emperor’s visit. Here is another wacky addition to Tacky’s myriad adventures in which friendship, kindness, and laughter always win out! Tacky fans will be carried to new heights of hilarity by this latest Tacky tale.

      Annotation

      While awaiting a visit from the Emperor, a group of penguins fail to recognize their friend Tacky in the Emperor's clothes.

      Publishers Weekly

      "That prince among penguins returns," noted PW. "Here Tacky gets the royal treatment after he innocently tries on the emperor penguin's clothes and the emperor penguin gets a welcome break from pomp and ceremony." Ages 4-8. (Aug)

      October 14, 2000: Tacky draws children in with the excellent story and the beautiful illustrations. They will ask you to read it again and again. What's even better is they receive an outstanding message, 'Tacky is an odd bird, but a great bird to have around,' as they enjoy one of their favorite stories.
