This recommendation explains why 1) I have little use for Amazon's 
recommendations, 2) authority control is still a "GOOD THING," and 3) 
machine processing can't always cut it.  Something even worse would happen 
with Google.

Product Description
When Penguin gets pooped on by a goose flying by, he becomes more 
determined than ever to learn to fly. So, with the help of his other 
flightless friends (aka the Waddlers), the foursome builds a flying 
machine that takes them on an adventure like none they've ever known.

With a cast of quirky, can-do characters that young readers are sure to 
love, Flight of the Dodo is a comic adventure story about the desire to 
fly, the persistence to dream big, and poop!
