A little preview
One bright morning, Alex discovered that penguin's warm welcome was not behaving as anyone expected. A small new friend explained the problem, then waited hopefully. Alex did not stand back and watch. The young hero looked closely, asked what had already been tried, and promised to help find a gentle solution. Together they packed a snack, a ribbon, and a notebook for clues before setting out.
