This gently humorous story is about a little boy who finds a sad and lost penguin in front of his door. In an attempt to assist his new friend to go to South Pole and return home, they subsequently board a rowboat. The story ends with two friends having a cheerful reunion as the lonely penguin was actually trying to look for a friend. The artwork is excellent with the two characters remarkably displayed in the colorful background of an ocean and in a white backdrop. Jeffers uses fantastic watercolor painting with succinct text to present this charming and exhilarating tale of a rekindling friendship.
