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

5.0

Oh, what a darling book! I haven’t read too many children’s books tackling environmental topics in a clever, engaging way. Also, knowing the friendship between João and Dindim is real makes my heart squishy. I imagine it’d be enjoyable to read aloud, particularly for its rhymes. The Old Man and the Penguin could easily be introduced in a classroom setting, but also makes for a sweet bedtime story. 5 stars!
