A simple, heartwarming read
Review date: 2008-08-03 Rating: 10 out of 10
A simple storyline together with fresh illustrations make this one of my daughters favorites (she particularly loves the penguin and the stripey umbrella!) and at this stage (she is now 2) she is enjoying being able to follow a story in her own way, ie: the simplest way she can understand and I believe that it's this very simplicity which makes this picture book a big hit.
It's a short tale of friendship, a heartwarming read without being overly soppy.
Recommended!!

An absolute must have

This book is a cracker, just the opening lines really grab the imagination of any pre-schooler (or parent for that matter)
"Once there was a boy and one day he found a penguin at his door"
My toddler loves the book and we love reading it - which as every parent knows is important when you are asked to read it for the 88th day in a row! It is in my top 5 children's books for at the moment.
There are not too many words on each page, so personally I would say it is great from age 2 and up.
as valuable for adults as for children

i picked this up a little while ago while comfort shopping and because good children book illustrations always catch my eye. and it did the trick. it is a very touching little book on friendship that i believe will be a wonderful present or surprise to any child learning how to appreciate company or any adult who might be in need for a little reassurance about the good in our hearts. beautifully illustrated, quickly read and with a little twist in the plot that will get the kids hooked. the author's note is bound to bring a smile on the face of the most hardened parent, too:-)
enjoy.
Another brilliant book by Oliver Jeffers.

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

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
