Lost and Found Paperback – Picture Book, 26 February 2015

Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers was T’s second book by the author. I introduced it only when I was sure she has got used to The Boy and his ways from the previous book (he is a little different you see) She took to this book after a while, only when she understood the story well after repeated readings. It has now become a classic and she asks for it lesser each day, though it has been a hit.The Boy finds a penguin at his door one day and doesn’t know what to do. He thinks that the penguin is lost, but is he?WHAT WE LIKEDThe Boy’s helpful personality, although peculiar, is full of warmth and welcome, and that is what children should be exposed to.The concept of loneliness is handled so beautifully, it took me a couple of readings before I could appreciate it myself.Full paged illustrations. Never fails to grab the attention of a scampering toddler.Dealing with feelings. Realization, acceptance, and action.WHAT WE DISLIKED like all of OJ books, this one too has some things that can’t be termed logical from an adult point of view. But then for a child, anything is possible and okay.Recommended! Published by Harper Collins Children’s Books. Recommended age 2-2.5+ years.

Apart from my 4 year old I absolutely love this book. Such a heartwarming little tale.

Beautiful beautiful book with such an inspiring message for the young ones. Highly recommend.

The book is very good. It has simple sentences so my 3 yr DD loves reading it. The illustration is also good, it's colorful, kids are attracted to it. I would have given 5 stars but the packaging was not good, the book got bend, make sure you bubble wrap it. I got the delivery on time.

My child used to be addicted to screen.. Yesterday when the book came, he was ready for it. Made me read it to him thrice in two days. The illustrations are very catchy for children; it takes them to an imaginative world. As pointed out by many buyers here, the story subtly tells the idea of friendship/ companionship.

Very good book. Good story. The book quality and picture quality is also good.

Love all three books in this series. This one is so sweet. About a penguin who starts following the boy, who thinks it's lost. So he takes the penguin back to the south pole. But he realizes the penguin is not lost, just lonely. Great for introducing the concept of friendship to kids.Illustrations are simple and beautiful. One or two lines per page. Easy for 2.5 ye old to concentrate on a single scene. The words used are perfect as they are what she has been learning nowadays. So helps reinforce her learning.

What inspired me to write the review for this cute lovely book for which so many readers have already shared their thoughts?Answers : Me and my child have became Oliver Jeffers fan b'cuz of this book. A simple story talks about love, care, compassion, friendship. Sadness, lonelyness, confusion all get replaced from the lives of the boy and the penguin at the end of book.The pictures of the books are so expressive.My little one holds his penguin soft toy in his arm every time while we read the book. I highly recommend this book to parents.
