Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers

Lost and Found

is a beautiful story about friendship and loneliness. A boy helps a lost penguin finds his way back to the south pole, only to realise that the penguin wasn’t lost at all. This timeless tale will touch your child’s heart – from the loneliness of the penguin to the growing friendship of the boy and penguin.

The story begins when the boy finds a penguin on his door. Assuming the penguin is lost, the boy tries to help the penguin find his way home. The boy and the penguin travel to the south pole in a row boat telling stories the whole way and becoming great friends.

The illustrations are moving and full of feeling. The drawings have a simplicity that helps your child focus on the relationship between the boy and the penguin. The bright and bold drawings make it a pleasure for children and adults alike.

First published in 2005, Lost and Found was the second book written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.
