My Penguin Osbert by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel, illustrated by HB Lewis

From chapters.ca:
Fabulously illustrated by H. B. Lewis, Elizabeth Cody Kimmel's hilarious romp through the land of be- careful- what- you- wish- for offers a whole year's worth of holiday fun magic. Each year at Christmas, Joe writes a letter to Santa. But they've had a few misunderstandings in the past. Last year, for example, Joe wanted a fire- engine- red racecar with retracting headlights, and he did get one - but it was only three inches long. So this year Joe is really, really careful. He describes exactly what he wants - and on Christmas morning, guess what's waiting for him under the tree! Santa has brought him a living, breathing, black- and- white penguin named Osbert. Will anything in Joe's life ever be the same?
