Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
This beguiling tale featuring the round-headed lad from Jeffers's debut book, How to Catch a Star, begins, "Once there was a boy who found a penguin at his door." Enticing, spare text and watercolor pictures follow the earnest, red-and-white-striped shirt clad child's quest to help the sad-looking penguin find its way home. He checks with the Lost and Found Office ("But no one was missing a penguin") and futilely asks some birds and the rubber duck that shares his bath for guidance before reading (in a book drolly entitled Where Penguins Come From) that his new friend hails from the South Pole. After making sure their rowboat is ship-shape, the two set out to sea, the child rowing south while telling stories to the rapt penguin, sitting in the bow, endearingly holding a striped umbrella over its head when the weather turns stormy. The prose reflects the hero's sudden sadness after he sees the bird home (there "was no point telling stories now because there was no one to listen except the wind and the waves"). Youngsters will cheer the pals' inevitable reunion and will likely request an immediate rereading of this gently humorous and heartwarming tale of friendship found, lost and regained. Ages 4-up.

From The Critics
Jeffers' previous book, How to Catch a Star, was a bit of a disappointment with great illustrations but unsatisfying text. With his new book, the story lives up to the excellent pictures. The story is simple and quietly told: a boy finds a sad-looking penguin at his door. Deciding the penguin must be lost, the boy helps it find its way home. They take a rowboat to the South Pole, with the boy telling the penguin stories the whole way there. They say goodbye at the Pole and the boy floats away. The penguin, looking sad, watches him go. The boy suddenly realizes his mistake: the penguin had not been lost, just lonely. After a few missteps, the boy and penguin are reunited. The book ends with a touching painting of the boy and penguin hugging. It could have been dreck, but Jeffers pulls it off. Anyone who has watched a small child play with a special stuffed animal will recognize the behavior in this book: giving the penguin emotions, looking after it, telling it stories, being comforted by it. The full-page, full color illustrations are charming, simple, and unusual. This sweet, but not sappy, book should be a hit with the preschooler crowd.

    A Family Favorite.

    Lost and Found is first year reading in schools these days. After the kids brought it home, it's not just a school favorite anymore. Love the penguin and the sea scenes.

    Great Book - A Must Buy

    A friend of mine recommended this book for my 2 1/12 year old nephews and they absolutely love it. The illustrations are beautiful and the book tells a great story about friendship. I plan to purchase more books from this author.

    Very cute book

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this book but it is great. The story is cute, as are the illustrations. My son loves it and we read it often.

    Sweet Tale

    A hit in our first grade class! Beautiful illustrations and a touching story for young and old alike. We used this book during our penguin unit, but it is great for teaching friendship as well. Can't wait for Jeffer's next book due out April 19 - saw a copy from oversees and it is even more delightful! Jeffers' 'The Incredible Book Eating Boy' is especially great for teaching the importance of reading.

    love this book so much, we read it to adults!

    We found this at the library and it was such a hit, I have to buy it. Everything about this book is wonderful -- delightful illustrations and a charming story about friendship. A clever twist on the classic 'boy and his dog' theme. We read from the book before bed, and once he's in bed, my son insists on hearing it again. I don't mind because I love the story, plus it's easy to embellish and tell slowly as he drifts off to sleep.
