A True Story of True Friendship

Old Man and the Penguin

Briar's Reviews

Joao finds a penguin, whom he names Dindim, and decides to befriend him in this super cute tale.

This book is adorable! I love little stories about friendship! It's important to be nice and friendly with one another, and especially help those in need! This story focuses on that trait and does a great job of it. Joao takes care of his little penguin friends and gets him back on his feet.

To add to this amazing story, it's also real! Joao lives in Rio de Janeiro and actually helped nurse a penguin back to health. There is also information on how wildlife is being affected by some of our toxic human activities, so you can add some educational material to this book or just read it as a cute story.

I really like this book and I think it is excellent. I'd highly recommend it to young readers looking for a pretty book with a great story! Especially if they love animals and penguins!

The art style is soft, full of colour and unique. It makes this story super adorable and easy to follow, and will hook you to the page.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
