Pangolin tries to explain who he is, but all the other animals keep getting him confused with the more popular penguin. Told mostly with speech bubbles and amusing confusion. The most interesting part of the book was the fact sheets in the back of the book. An introduction for kids about this little known animal. A missed opportunity in that a photograph of an actual pangolin was not included.
