Lost and Found
by Oliver Jeffers
Once there was a sad, lonely penguin who appeared at the door of a young boy.
The penguin followed the boy everywhere, and the boy decided he must be lost, so he set off to find his home. The boy asked the Lost and Found Office, some birds, and even his rubber duck. No one knew.
When the boy read that penguins were from the South Pole, he decided to help the penguin get there. Together they set out across the sea, rowing through bad weather and good, until they reached the South Pole. And here the boy discovers that sometimes what you're looking for is right in front of you...
With beautiful illustrations and a charming storyline, this tale makes a poignant and richly enjoyable follow up to the award-winning How to Catch a Star. Lost and Found won the gold medal in the 2005 Nestle Children's Book Prize (5 & Under category).
