Description
For the early graphic novel reader who devoured Narwhal and Jelly, Captain Underpants or Elephant and Piggie.
Beloved odd-couple Penguin and Panda return in four new adventures. Whether it’s Penguin’s first campout (in the dark!) or her strange competition with the new neighbor, she is definitely feeling all the feels. Panda, Mr. Low-Key, is always happy to offer up sage wisdom, but his inability to stop putting things off comes back to bite him when he ruins a special Fun Friday.
Penned by a gifted-education specialist, and full of hilarious illustrations and a generous spirit of friendship, In the Dark is perfect for early readers.
Highly recommended by Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, Betsy Bird at AFuse8Production and YA Books Central.
Advance Praise
“It’s always time to rejoice when there’s a new easy book/early chapter book series on the horizon. First of all, extra points for giving us a penguin with pigtails. How has no one ever thought of that before? For Captain Underpants lovers!” —A Fuse 8 Production - Betsy Bird
"A charming graphic novel that combines colorful and expressive illustrations with simple text to delight young independent readers. Recommend for elementary school aged readers.” —YA Books Central
“A can-do panda and a laze-about penguin are inexplicably best buds in this odd-couple escapade series launch.” —Publishers Weekly, Early Reader Spotlight
“Penguin and Panda put their friendship to the test in the Adventures of Penguin and Panda series. Together, they navigate the travails of friendship. Mézes’s illustrations have a pleasant, hand-drawn quality with lovely, somewhat muted colors and the characters feel like they are bursting from the panels—and in some cases, they are.” —School Library Journal
