Book Cover & Preview Text
"I wonder why Stephanie is packing the van. Look, she's putting barrels of smelts and sardines in the back. Why is she taking them away? They're my favorites!" cried the worried penguin. "I hope she leaves some for me!" brayed Pablo. "Haven't you heard? Stephanie is taking us on a trip across the country," Franco Flamingo informed his friend. "She says there are lots of children that have never seen a penguin or a flamingo up close. We'll be visiting a wildlife habitat in Maine. We are going to the Atlantic Ocean!"
