'Nikki is enchanted by the fairy penguin parade. She wants a penguin friend of her own. Dad says it's impossible: how would they look after it? He buys her a toy penguin instead.
'Nikki doesn't want a toy penguin. It's a fake, only second-best. But when she comes face to face with a real penguin, it's not what she expects at all.'(Publication summary)
