    Description
    (Distributed by raising readers at the 4 Year visit from April 2009 - May 2010)
    While trying his best to help a lost penguin that has shown up at his door, a boy journeys all the way to the South Pole, only to realize that the penguin was never lost.
    Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
    This is a very charming picture book that includes a journey and an adventure, but also shows how friends are made. This picture book is at a higher comprehension level than many books we have given to four-year-olds. We felt, though, that the book will be very much enjoyed as an adventure story and will grow with children as they experience friendship.
