About this story

After a night of snow, Ivy runs to the icy shore and sees a penguin parade marching to the sea. Little Poko is left behind and can’t keep up. Ivy learns to waddle like him, they hop over cracks in the ice together, and when Poko is scared of a big snowy hill, Ivy sits down beside him: “Let’s go together.” They slide down, and Poko runs into his mother’s arms.
