...and just a little Tacky.
This is my offering for Nicky of Mrs Sew and Sow fame. I was supposed to make a block depicting a favorite children's story book character....preferably from our home lands. I was supposed to make it last October...something went horribly wrong with my timing.
I chose Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester, and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. Tacky is a wonderfully quirky bird who doesn't quite fit in with the flock. It might have something to do with his Hawaiian shirt. There are several Tacky books. Check him out. I think you will be glad you did.
Sorry it took me so long Nicky. He will be flying off to you tomorrow.

Oh Nicky is going to love Tacky!!
He's very cute!
I love him and his shirt, does Tacky have a meaning in Americn? In UKEnglish it means sticky like a almost dried glued surface, but also it means something that is very showy and poor quality, and usually considered awful by the person using the word!
I LOVE Tacky the Peguin! Three Cheers for Tacky was one of my favorite books to teach. When i taught 2nd grade we wrte innovations ofmthatnbook. I love the idea ofmfavmbook character blocks. I'm amelementarynlibrariannow and have been thinking of making alibraryquilt. mmmmm...
