Read the excerpt from Bruno and the Race:
They waddled up to the starting line. Jeanette, Trevor, and Bruno made eye contact with each other as they stretched. The colony counted down, "Three! Two! One! Go!" The three penguins took off. Jeanette and Trevor were in the lead, but as they approached the finish line, they saw a flash of black and white fly past them! Bruno used the last jump to give him the speed he needed to win the race. Using the jumps for speed was Bruno's new technique to win races. His size didn't matter. Bruno shared his new skill with the other penguins in the colony. Bruno wanted to help them become faster so that everyone had a chance at winning races. The entire colony thanked Bruno, and everyone was sorry for doubting him.
