Este fue el libro con el que mis hijos y yo nos enamoramos del trabajo de Oliver Jeffers. Historia encantadora, ilustraciones ricas que invitan a leer más allá del texto, y personajes entrañables.

I promised myself I wouldn't get into the habit of buying children's picture books until I had a child of my own, but that promise has gone out the window, and I partly blame Oliver Jeffers. There's so much heart and charm in all his illustrations and his stories are always simple but incredibly effective. There's always plenty of little details in the images to make you smile or laugh too. In this one it was backgammon, advertising posters, and tricycles. I can only hope that if I ever do have a child it will enjoy them as much as I do.

I love Oliver Jeffers's books. This is a sweetly illustrated story of ambition and friendship. I should really buy some of his books for my nieces.

Jeffers continues his story of the friendship between a boy and penguin in this fourth book about the boy. The boy and the penguin are great friends. They do everything together. But when the penguin decided that he had to learn to fly, he knew he had to do it on his own. The boy tried to help, looking up information and trying to connect the penguin with flying experts. But when the penguin figures out a solution, he heads off immediately to make it happen. The boy had no idea where the penguin went. The penguin finds himself alone and lost, unable to get in touch with his friend. When the boy discovers where the penguin is, the question is whether he will be able to reach him in time to see his friend succeed or fall.
This book is written with the same charming simplicity of the earlier books. There is such a gentle and loving spirit to these books. Yet they still have a spirit of adventure and surprise. The friendship between the two characters is strong and true, supporting one another even if the other friend needs to do something on their own. This is a touching story of real friendship.
Jeffers’ illustrations are done in the same style as the earlier books in the series. They are done in a modern style that is infused with warmth from the charm of the characters and the bright colors.
A fitting follow-up to Lost and Found, this book will appeal to fans of Jeffers and to new readers as well. Appropriate for ages 4-6.
