The Penguin Lessons by Tom Michell
3.0
This book is the true life story of Tom Michell who finds a Penguin covered in oil on a beach and rescues it. It follows his travels to Argentina where he works in a college and does a great job of showing the personality of the penguin Juan Salvador. It is heart warming especially as we see how the penguin touches the lives of so many people.
I think the book would have been better marketed as a book about a period of Michell's life rather than a book about a penguin as there are long texts about his other travels and life while away. This was interesting, especially reading about Argentina in the 1970s but wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.
