The Old Man and the Penguin: A True Story of True Friendship by Julie Abery

5.0

Such a wonderful book, based on a true story, about a man and the penguin he rescues. The bond they form is a caring one, and it is easy to see that it was built on trust and empathy. This is a great book to teach your little one about caring for wildlife and our planet.
I also appreciated the note in the back that explained how oil spills are harmful to animals, and what to do if you were to ever find a wild animal in distress.
The illustrations were remarkable, and followed the rhyming text with precision so that your youngest readers would still be able to engage with the story.
