About the book:
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.
A poignant, funny, and child-friendly story about friendship lost . . . and then found again.
My review:
This adorable picture book tells the tale of a penguin who shows up at a boy's door. At is one that maybe first the boy tries to find out where the penguin belongs but eventually finds a life friend.
The cute story that accompanies this book is a lesson that some adults in our world could learn. That is, just be a friend, learn to get along with people that may be different from you.
Honestly, if I had a penguin to cuddle up with, I would read them this story!
4 stars.
