There is a playfulness and sweetness about Oliver Jeffers' books that catches me. This and Up and Down are about a friendship formed when a penguin gets lost and a boy tries to help him.

Haha, what a silly adventure. It doesn't have a clear message, it's just a fun story.

Key takeaways:
- "He's not lost, he was just lonely!" ( )

Wonderful, wholesome, clever and so freakin' adorable, I can barely stand it!!! ( )

Oliver Jeffers knows how to write a simple and sweet story. In this, a little boy finds a lost penguin and is determined to help him find home. But in the end, he realizes that maybe the penguin was not lost at all, maybe he was just lonely. Jeffers is a popular author for a reason and this book does not disappoint. ( )

A boy suddenly meets a penguin and the boy finds a way to get the penguin back to the south pole where he belongs. But, it turns out the penguin wasn't missing a home, he was missing a friend. ( )
