Book love


I have a real thing for children's books. I love all the old classics and vintage treasures and collect them from oppys , I also love a lot of the new books coming up from writers and illustrators today, and I think it's really important to support these people and encourage them too, after all these will be the new classics of the future. This book is a perfect case of that
I picked up Lost and Found on the weekend at my local bookshop, and I couldn't leave it behind. it's a gorgeous story of a boy and a lost penguin, that is moving, touching, surprising, funny and well about real stuff. I don't want to give to much away because the story is so delightful. I love the gorgeous illustrations by writer Oliver Jeffers, a mixture of primtive drawing and lovely watercolours.
Really for anyone with kids in my opinion it's a must ( or for anyone who is a big kid themselves). God I know I sound like a sales rep for this book ( i'm not) I just want everyone to read this book!!

There is a short film based on this book by the BBC I think and narrated by Jim Broadbent. It was on the ABC a couple of months ago and was wonderful.
