A cumulative ice-fishing mystery, featuring a grumpy penguin, a troupe of curious animals, and a surprise ending. An ice-fishing penguin grows increasingly aggravated as his line fails to attract fish, but instead attracts a cast of curiously chatty polar characters. Hilariously expressive animals and their repetitive questions dramatically accumulate until finally, in the climactic finale, the penguin hears something under the water, and everyone silences for the big reveal. A fast-paced and entertaining read-aloud that provides ample opportunity for character voices and multiple punchlines. Children will wager predictions throughout, and crack up at the clever, surprise ending! sakriti opis
