Perdido y Encontrado by Oliver Jeffers {Book Review and Teaching Ideas}

{This post contains affiliate links.  Thank you for supporting this blog.}

Perdido y encontrado by Oliver Jeffers focuses on the relationship between a little boy and a penguin.  Jeffers  has written another book, Arriba y Abajo, with the same two characters. In Perdido y Encontrado, the little boy finds a penguin that he believes is lost so the boy decides to return him to the place the penguin belongs.  When he does, the boy soon realizes that the penguin isn't lost.  He is just lonely.

You can use the below vocabulary list to do games like Memory, Go Fish or Pictionary. See an example, here, with another one of Jeffers' books.

Here is the vocabulary that you can emphasize from the book:

el pingüino
encontrar
perder
triste
ayudar
los pájaros
el patito
nadar
el barco
el Polo Sur
remar
el bote
el mar
las olas
despedirse
solo
buscar
