The Awards Of The Penguin

By Aram of Bank Street School For Children, NYC.

The penguin deserves a lot of awards. It has a lot of cool behaviors that some animals do not have.

I would grant the penguin, THE FASTEST SWIMMER AWARD, because it can swim very fast. It can do that because of its hydrodynamic shape, like a torpedo.

I would grant it the LIKE A ROCKET AWARD because when it swims and wants to get out of the water it rockets itself out of the water. It is airborne for about a foot.

I would also grant the penguin THE LIVING SLED AWARD because it looks like a toboggan as it slides down a snowy hill. This keeps the penguin from having to walk slowly down it.

I would grant the penguin THE WIGGLIEST WALK AWARD because the penguin can not put its feet one in front of the other. They had to move there feet from side to side. The foot that is down swivels a little so the other foot can move in front.

Lastly I would grant the penguin THE ALTERNATE NEST BUILDER because it must use rocks instead of twigs to build a nest.
