I've always had this obsession I guess you could say with penguins. I'm not exactly sure how but I remember when I was a little girl my Grandpa Baer got me started on loving penguins. Ever since then I have always loved them. I have started to collect them and everything. My Grandpa is no longer alive so through penguin things I have this kind of connection with him. I have a few stuffed penguins in my room and a few on posters and what not. They are also my favorite animal to go see at the zoo. There is just something about them that I find rather interesting. When I was in the second grade I even wrote and had published a book that I wrote about penguins and I gave it to my Grandpa. I think other then the Bible that truly became his favorite book. R.I.P.
