She warns them about a penguin from long ago who refused to listen to his elders and wandered off into the dangerous snowy world. But just like the hero of the story, one of the seven little penguins is not listening right now. The mischievous little penguin sneaks away to find his own excitement.

He does not realize that a giant whale is watching closely, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. This thrilling and funny adventure combines a story within a story. Young readers will be on the edge of their seats as the little penguin learns a valuable lesson about listening and staying safe in the wild polar landscape.
