Dos mesmos autores de alguns dos grandes sucessos da Companhia da Letrinhas - O sapo bocarrão, Drácula, Essa não! e O porco narigudo -, O pingüim preocupado encanta os leitores infantis com a graça de seu texto e as ilustrações mostrando simpáticos animais do Ártico.Keith Faulkner conta histórias extremamente simples, com acontecimentos triviais, e tem o dom de contá-las de forma a criar uma atmosfera muito especial, impregnada de afeto. Quem não se comove com o pingüinzinho "tremendo de frio, afundando as patinhas naquela neve toda", e "andando com muita dificuldade" sob o vento gelado do Ártico? Esse filhotinho tem muitas razões para ficar preocupado: ser pingüim é isso? Andar pelo meio da neve daquele jeito, balançando o corpo e se equilibrando com as pequenas nadadeiras abertas? A orca, o urso polar e mamãe pingüim estão lá para explicar o problema ao pequeno pingüim preocupado.
