Lost and Found

Description

A wonderful story about the meaning of loneliness and the importance of friendship. One day a penguin arrives on a boy's door step. The boy decides the penguin must be lost and tries to return him. But no one seems to be missing a penguin. So the boy decides to take the penguin home himself, and they set out in his rowing boat on a journey to the South Pole. But when they get there, the boy discovers that maybe home wasn't what the penguin was looking for after all!
