Tacky’s Christmas by Helen Lester - OPTIONAL


Lester, Helen. Tacky’s Christmas. Illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. Houghton Mifflin Books for Children 2010, $16.99. Content G-picture book. Tacky the penguin is at it again. Not only does this fun-loving penguin enjoy life to the fullest, he always manages to somehow save the day. In this latest installment of the Tacky series, Tacky dresses as Santa Claus and a tree at the same time to distract and win over the hearts of evil hunters. I’m not sure how many of you are Tacky fans, but this being the first one I have read I was not impressed. I had a hard time getting over the incorrect grammar would not be wanting to have young readers read this because of that reason. EL - OPTIONAL if you are a Tacky fan. Shauna, reading teacher.
