An Old Man and His Penguin: How Dindim Made Jo�o Pereira de Souza an Honorary Penguin

Milanka Reardon

5/5 ( ratings)

"An Old Man and His Penguin holds a number of important messages about human/animal relationships, love, oil slicks and their impact on sea life, and loneliness. . . . its underlying focus on letting go and reaping rewards from non-possessiveness offers an outstanding lesson about love for the very young
." --
D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Off the coast of Brazil, Jo�o rescues a lifeless, oil-covered penguin and nurses him back to health. Dindim adopts Jo�o as an honorary penguin, and the steadfast friends do everything together. They swim together, fish together, and stroll the beach together. But there are real penguins somewhere across the sea. So one day, Dindim leaves Jo�o. The villagers tell Jo�o the penguin will never come back. Jo�o cannot say if he will or will not. Are the villagers right? Will Dindim ever patter into his old friend's loving arms again?
