And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell

Roy and Silo are Chinstrap penguins living in the Central Park Zoo. They aren't noticed much by the girl penguins, but they don't mind because they have each other. They like to swim together, sing to each other, and even build a nest together. One day Mr. Gramzay, the zookeeper, brings them an egg in need of nurturing. Roy and Silo are faithful parents, keeping their egg warm and trading off on sleeping and sitting duties. Their perseverance pays off when the egg hatches and out peeps little Tango! Parenting is hard work, but Roy, Silo, and Tango are one happy family and are cheered on by the children who visit the zoo.
