The second book of the Pengey Penguin series, we find our little hero living on the Upper East Side of  NYC and trying to adapt not only to the climate but the ways of humans and Big City Life.

Pengey has a lot to learn about this fascinating environment. Where can he go swimming and fishing? Where's the nearest Sushi Bar? What are those things called movies that Wendy likes to watch? Who are all those furry little animals that live in Central Park? Where can a penguin, especially the littlest penguin, buy a plaid tie and fedora? What's a Taxi? Can penguins ride on the subway? So much for a little penguin to learn!

Come along as we go with Pengey on a typical day to meet his new friends in Central Park or spend the day with Wendy at the Television station where she works.

Of course, being the curious and indomitable little spirit that he is, Pengey soon finds himself embroiled in a brand new adventure of Big City proportions.

A terrible crime has been committed against the poor children at the Tattered Orphanage. A vile and villainous gang of thugs have stolen all their Christmas presents! The police have found no clues.

Pengey must find the despicable culprits, bring them to justice and return the gifts to the orphaned children who will have no Holiday celebration without his help!

Pengey takes on the persona of his favorite movie star private eye, Nick Sloan, to become "Pengey Sloan-Private Eye" while he investigates this heinous crime.

Pengey, his best friend Lionel Macaw, and his new animal friends, set out to find the evildoers behind the theft and bring them to justice! They must succeed no matter what the risk!

Pengey takes us on a memorable journey where an unlikely character, twists of fate, and minor miracles help Pengey and his friends, solve the case, save the day, and preside over a well-earned and Joyous Christmas for the children of the Tattered Orphanage.
