Get the Toilet Math mug.The title of a children’s book that tells the love-and-life story of two inseparable male penguins, Roy and Silo, that successfully hatched an egg to welcome chick Tango in their world—they took turns to nurture her by feeding her, cuddling her in their nest, and taking her for a swim with the other penguin families.
