1st line/s: "Once there were two friends....who always did everything together."
My comments: This is, apparently, the fourth book Oliver Jeffers has written about "the boy." It's a heartwarming story of friendship - between this boy and his penguin buddy - and the penguin's desire to try out flying. Very cute, very Oliver Jeffers. Must find others about "the boy!
1 - How to Catch a Star

Goodreads: From the illustrator of the #1 smash hit The Day the Crayons Quit comes a humorous, resonant tale about the value of shared experiences.
A penguin has wings for a reason . . . doesn't he? Having a best friend with his own airplane is one thing, but actually experiencing what it feels like to fly by himself? Here is one penguin who believes this is precisely what he needs to feel complete. Only . . . if flying by himself is so wonderful, then why does he feel so empty?Because some experiences are better shared. (And penguins are much happier on the ground.)
Oliver Jeffers delivers the perfect companion to his much-loved Lost and Found. Penguins everywhere will take flight in delight.
