I MET A PENGUIN: A Love Story

by Frank Asch ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 28, 1972

Happy on his island Eden until his friends notice that he's a terrible fisherman, Lion is swept away in a storm to the South Pole where he loves and loses a paragon of a penguin -- ""strong as an elephant, gentle as a dove, pretty as a peacock,"" and best of all, blind to his shortcomings as a fisherman. Asch's kookie freestyle doodles and Lion's unabashed sentimentality are both as much childish as childlike -- but lovingly, liberatingly so. You'll want to meet this Aquarian lion.
