About this title

Synopsis:

Silly Penelope Nuthatch receives a letter from her friend Luther Crow promising an unforgettable surprise outing. She assumes Luther is taking her to see the "unforgettable" Swan Lake. She gets her feathers done, picks out a delicately fluffy outfit, and waits excitedly for her glamorous day with Luther. Unfortunately for Penelope, her surprise is a trip to the splashy, sticky, sweaty water park. Pouting and drooping, she sulks her way through the park until she realises that the right attitude, not your location, is the difference between a bad and a good day.
