The Old Man And The Penguin - A True Story of True Friendship (Hardcover)

Joao hears 'a sorry screech' as he walks along the shore near his home. It's from a penguin, whose feathers are soaked in oil. Barely moving on the sand, too tired to swim, too weak to stan... Joao must save this little guy. Without his help, he'll surely die. Joao takes the penguin home. He cleans him, feeds him and nurses him slowly back to health - and the pair develop a special bond. When the penguin is fully recovered, Joao knows it's time to return him to the wild where he belongs. But the penguin has other ideas...
