Book Review -- Animal Book of the Year

    We have already revealed the dog book of the year and the cat book of the year.  Today, it is time to reveal my choice for the animal book of the year.  This was an easy decision.  My pick is "The Penguin Lessons," by Tom Michell.
     Tom is working as a teacher in Argentina when he comes across a penguin covered in oil on the beach.  At first, Tom doesn't think the penguin is alive, but the penguin is still alive.  Tom makes the decision to take the penguin home and clean him up in hopes that he will survive.
     "The Penguin Lessons" tells the story of the time Tom spent with the penguin he named Juan Salvador.  This penguin became a favorite of the students at the school where Tom was a teacher, and Juan Salvador brought joy to the lives of everyone that he met.
     Next week, I will not be posting a review.  However, the reviews will start again after the first of the year.  I already have two dog books read and ready for review in 2017.
