    Fantastic Read

    Really enjoyed this book. Once I started reading I couldn't put down. Highly recommend reading this as it is written straight from the heart, and is a true story of caring, love, amazing humour and the effect selfish mindless actions has on our environment. Fantastic!

    Penguin lessons - a perfect title about lessons learnt by and through a penguin

    It's simply an enchanting story - and a true one. Amazing how a wild bird can build up a close relationship with human beings, full of trust.

    The penguin lessons

    A lovely true story about a rescued Penguin. Although I do think he should have tried to return him to the wild.

    a good read

    As an ex-teacher I found it most interesting and have already recommended it to others. It is a well told story. I came across it while reading for the RNIB where it will shortly be available to the blind.
