Flip-Flop is a little penguin with a big dream.  He wants to fly!  But even his snow plane can't give him wings.  Then he discovers that wishes can come true - sometimes in an unexpected way.
Penguins by nature a flightless, but that doesn't stop Flip-Flop from trying to fly.  After a few humourous attempts and help from his friend Polar Bear, Flip-Flop discovers that swimming is like flying and is something within his abilities.
Cute illustrations with scattered onomatopoeia makes for an interesting and fun read.
