A Potpourri of Penguins

Do you have a penchant for penguins?  Is there a penguin collector on your holiday list?

This lens has some great movies, books, music, collectables, holiday decorations, and party goods for every penguin lover. From Happy Feet to Surf's Up to March of the Penguins and more.



Did you know? 

There are two special penguin holidays each year.
Penguin Awareness Day on January 20, and World Penguin Day on April 25th.
(4/25 is the day that penguins in the Antarctic begin their northward migration.)

Happy Feet 

Happy Feet is an animated musical adventure staring Elijah Wood as the voice of Mumble. It's set in the land of the Emperor Penguins in the heart of Antarctica. These penguins sing their own special heartsong to attract a soul mate. Unfortunately Mumble is the worst singer in the world, but oh can he dance. Mumble stayed true to himself even though no one else approved. In the end he teaches everyone that being unique isn't a burden, it's a gift! My husband and I took our 5 year old daughter to see this movie in the theaters. We all loved it.

For more information check out the Official Site of Happy Feet.
