After traveling the seas, it’s love at first sight and a happy marriage for Penguin Pete when he meets Pat—the pretty penguin with the blue beak. And when their baby, Tim, is born they rejoice that he’s the perfect combination of them both—complete with a green little beak!        

Rainbow Fish's deep sea friends love eating krill, but so does the big whale. When he swoops in, the fish think he's going to eat them, so they hide. Hurt, the whale pretends he's going to do just that, but, in the end, he and Rainbow Fish have some fun.
