The Penguin Lessons by Tom Michell

informative inspiring lighthearted sad medium-paced

4.0

I was not prepared for his early death 😭😭😭

but I did appreciate the epilogue and the additional knowledge and penguin encounters. 

Some parts were a bit slow (the chapter The Quest for El Dorado dragged for me) but overall it was lovely! The stories of Juan Salvado: his adorable mannerisms, his impressive intelligence, his loving attachment, and the joy he brought into everyone’s lives were so heartwarming 🥰. I did also appreciate the parts about Argentina, the culture and economy at the time. I thought it provided a nice context.
