1. Penguin Problems 

This book caught my eye from several aisles away at The Curious Reader in Glenrock, NJ. The art and text guides us through the troubles of a misanthropic penguin with delightful visual humor. "My beak is cold." "The ocean is too salty." Pair this book with your favorite misanthrope. 

2. Mr. Popper's Penguins

Oh man, how could we not include this classic? Penguins, check. More penguins, check. Performing penguins, check. A whimsical tale with a conservationist bent, check.

3. 365 Penguins

Like Mr. Popper's Penguins, 365 Penguins features a family who has to solve the problem of too many penguins, 365 of them to be precise. Yet another whimsical tale with a conservationist bent.

4. And Tango Makes Three

Roy and Silo, inseparable male chinstrap penguins, are given an egg to hatch and ended up raising a chick called Tango. This, by the way, is based on a true story. The book itself is controversial and has made it to the top ten list of most banned books. 5. Death and the Penguin

Viktor and his pet penguin Misha set out to challenge normality when Viktor lands a job writing obituaries for VIPs to be used when the time comes. What's more bizarre is that these VIPs drop dead as soon as Viktor finishes an obituary. He starts to realize that his end may be coming and that Misha may be the only thing keeping him alive.
