the #1 virtual world for kids, is coming to iPad today with the
new My Penguin app available for free download. With the app,
Club Penguin’s millions of players will be able to access some

beginning for us as we provide an increasingly connected mobile
experience for Club Penguin players around the world.”

itself. My Penguin will feature four of the most popular games
