Owl and Penguin

    (Holiday House, 2023)

Two feathered friends are Frog and Toad for the emoji generation in this delightful graphic novel for emerging readers. Owl likes peace and quiet. Penguin likes to sing out loud. But best friends don’t need to be the same. Sometimes it’s good to disagree! Owl and Penguin celebrate their differences and solve their problems with creative play. From ice cream mishaps to rainy day chills, there’s nothing these pals can’t get through together. In three nearly wordless stories, expressive art takes charge of the storytelling, supplemented by simple text captions and emoticon-style images in speech bubbles. This innovative format supports visual literacy and sight word recognition for the earliest independent readers.
