Mr. Popper's Penguins Chap 8-9

A Case of Mistaken Identity

Poor Captain Cook is mistaken for a number of different creatures in these chapters- an anteater, dodo, and a pelican.

Create a "baseball card" featuring one of the these creatures of your choice. The front should feature a picture of the animal and the back should contain THREE interesting facts about it.
