Product Description

Synopsis
A wonderful story about the meaning of loneliness and the importance of friendship. One day a penguin arrives on a boy's door step. The boy decides the penguin must be lost and tries to return him. But no one seems to be missing a penguin. So the boy decides to take the penguin home himself, and they set out in his rowing boat on a journey to the South Pole. But when they get there, the boy discovers that maybe home wasn't what the penguin was looking for after all!

Another brilliant book by Oliver Jeffers., 6 May 2007

By	Dangermouse "He's the strongest, he's the qui... (Doncaster, Yorkshire, UK.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lost and Found (Paperback)

Oliver Jeffers simply gets better and better!

This book, like his others is illustrated with his own unique style and makes this book so easy on the eye. The pictures aren't garish, they aren't overly cartoony, they are VERY cute! - They need to be seen to be believed. The picture where the penguin is left behind almost brings a tear to your eye!

The story too is fantastic, a penguin lands on a boys doorstep, it is out of place and the boy wants to take it home. This is essentially a story about friendship, and one your child will certainly want to enjoy again and again - which is good - as you'll want to read it again too!

a great lesson, 20 Feb 2006

By	"leylaniablue" - See all my reviews

This book was lovely the illustrations are fabulous and the lesson inside is one that seems so important for children - or at least I think so...
home isn't necessarily where you're from but more where your friends are...
the only downfall and reason for this not being 5 stars is that some sentences ran across pages making the flow of the story the first couple of times you read aloud a little bumpy - once you know it as well as I do though the sentences flow well...
a really lovely little book
