What is a boy to do when a lost penguin shows up at his door? Find out where it comes from, of course, and return it. But the journey to the South Pole is long and difficult in the boy's rowboat. There are storms to brave and deep, dark nights.To pass the time, the boy tells the penguin stories. Finally, they arrive. Yet instead of being happy, both are sad. That's when the boy realizes: The penguin hadn't been lost, it had merely been lonely!
Oliver Jeffers' unique tale of friendship lost and found is simply told and beautifully illustrated. |

This book is simple, sweet and heart-felt. My kids loved it, and I enjoyed reading it to them. The artwork is deceptively simple; while the authors seems to rely on the simplest lines and shapes, he creates very expressive faces and and dramatic seascapes.
