This is a wonderful tale about the trials of being the Emperor. The uncomfortable fancy clothes, the same fancy food, and the same boring presentations... But Tacky comes to the rescue inadvertently and the Emperor has a terrific day. We really enjoyed reading this book aloud; the story is fun and the illustrations are great, so hilarious!

This is another book in the very fun Tacky series. In this book Tacky is mistaken for the "emperor" and all the other penguins give him the royal treatment. They are all surprised when the real emperor shows up and ends up enjoying himself because he has different treatment that he got anwhere else.

I love Tacky the Penguin. He's fun, doesn't follow the boring crowd, and he wears an Aloha shirt! I love how this story says that it is okay to be different. Most times important or popular people just wanted to be treated like a friend and Tacky does just that.
