David du Plessis Mister King's Incredible Journey

Annotation

Mister King the penguin lives on a rocky island near the South Pole. One day, a boat appears and Mister King watches as some fishermen row to the shore. The fishermen have never before seen such a strange bird! They catch the frightened penguin in a bag and take him back to their boat; then they sail off with him, far, far away. If Mister King ever wants to see his home again, he will have to be very brave and find his own way back. And so begins an incredible journey across the ocean. Mister King's Incredible Journey is a tale of courage and compassion. At its heart the book considers issues of conservation, nature's wisdom and our responsibility towards our fellow creatures.
