Dante Beatrix Penguin Backpack

Chefdad's nickname has always been Penguin Boy after his life long love for the cold weather creatures, so anything with penguins hold great interest in our family. Even though the kid already has an orange backpack, I'm really tempted by this sweet little penguin backpack, especially now that she started preschool and wears her bag to school. I've been enjoying our morning walks up the hill to Prospect Park where her school faces. We live on a particularly wide, leafy street and she's been collecting leaves and acorns along the way, squirrelling them away in her backpack. I know that in a few months the 20 minute walk (12 minutes without her) will get real old in the winter cold, but for now, with the leaves on the trees creating a shady "tree tunnel", it's been a nice, new leisurely morning ritual.
