A delightful and captivating first picture book that delves into the realm of manners and etiquette. In a delightful tale, a group of mischievous and naughty penguins embark on a mission to impress the esteemed Emperor, who is arriving to preside over the highly anticipated BEST TOWN COMPETITION. Driven by their fierce desire to secure the coveted first prize, which promises a year's supply of delectable fish, the penguins resort to putting on a grand display of politeness and etiquette.
