A boy finds a penguin at his door and once he figures out where penguins live, decides to return it to the South Pole… by rowboat. Throughout their adventure, the boy regales the Penguin with stories to pass the time. When they finally reach the Pole and say goodbye, the boy realizes he’s made a terrible mistake. “Lost And Found” is one of those rare picture books: a beautiful, heartwarming story that isn’t saccharine-sweet. It also happens to be gorgeously illustrated, with lots of little touches in the artwork: while the boy rows against giant waves, the penguin takes refuge under an umbrella and lights the way with a flashlight. “Lost And Found” is a quiet, calm, and reflective tale of friendship.
