Three tales of discovery highlight the challenges and fun of growing up. The
first story depicts Pongo, a young, mischievous African gorilla who wants to
grow up to be brave and clever like his dad. But its not until his sister,
Whoopsie, is born that Pongo discovers growing up isnt just about
chest-thumping. Secondly, as the first penguin chick to be born this year, its
Ottos job to look after all the other young penguins. But out in the snow and
ice of Antarctica, theres a lot to learn, and Otto has to discover for himself
how to swim, dive, and catch fish before he can teach anyone else. In the third
tale, a baby aardvark named Pim wonders what exactly it means to be an
aardvark! He decides to find out. Hes disappointed when he discovers that
aardvarks cant climb trees, but as time goes by, Pim realizes there are some
advantages to being an aardvark after all.
