November is already a special month for me personally as I get to return
to my official profession and it will be the first full month of my
grown daughters' return home. One of them even brought along a male
friend whose hair makes him look like a macaroni penguin and he
doesn't mind the comparison.

And for the rest of the world it turns out its penguin media month. On
November 17th Happy Feet opens at some theaters. And then 8 days later
March of the Penguins will be on the Hallmark Channel - Nov. 25 at 9
p.m. (EST/PST).

Both of these penguin events also turn out to have some related
educational things suitable for passing on to teachers or otherwise
spreading penguin knowledge. Hallmark offers an online pdf "March of the
Penguins Educator Guide".

Go to the Educator Guide link on the bottom of the home page.

The page about happy feet offers some background and even the
possibility of free tickets but I'm not sure what to make of the
organization.

Finally the march of the penguins takeoff is said to be appearing
sometime soon but I refuse to dignify it with a plug.
