Pen is a penguin. His favorite things are pancakes and fastidious household upkeep. Pen lives in the city with his friend Hayakawa, a human. They can''t communicate in words, so the only way for Pen to express his love is by doing laundry and getting good deals at the supermarket. This is a chronicle of their life together--let it snuggle on your shelf next to A Man and His Cat or Way of the Househusband!NESTINGPen the penguin lives with his most favorite keeper in the world: Hayakawa the human! But Pen''s no ordinary penguin... He''s a neat penguin! A proper penguin! A doting penguin! Pen loves to daydream of Hayakawa''s smile as he flips pancakes, runs errands, and folds the laundry with his teeny-tiny flippers. If only his beloved Hayakawa would notice! Unfortunately, Pen''s human keeper can''t speak penguin and is also a hopelessly lazy university student. With Pen''s comical expressions and Hayakawa''s lighthearted cluelessness, every day in their house is full of adorable mishaps and hijinks!
