Two feathered friends are Frog and Toad for the emoji generation in this delightful graphic novel series for emerging readers.

Owl wants to play catch. But Penguin wants to play tennis! Which should they play? 

Sometimes best friends disagree. Though Owl and Penguin are opposites, they like to solve their conflicts with creative play. From conquering fears to flying a runaway kite, there’s nothing these pals can’t get through together.

In five nearly wordless stories, expressive art leads 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. With warm humor and a joyful palette, it’s perfect for kids to giggle over on their own.

I Like to Read® Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. Like their award-winning I Like to Read® counterparts, these books are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers.


Named to the Little Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List!
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
"Charming evidence that compromise and inventiveness can produce the best day yet!"—Kirkus Reviews
 
"The supremely talented Madan follows the Geisel Honor winning Owl and Penguin up with this clever collection of five little stories about two feathered pals navigating the often fragile nature of friendship. Hilarious and full of heart." –Mr. Brian’s Picture Book Picks
Vikram Madan grew up in India, where he wanted to be a cartoonist, but ended up an engineer. After many years in the tech industry, he came to his senses and followed his heart into storytelling. He is the author/illustrator of Owl and Penguin, a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor book and Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, and A Hatful of Dragons, which received a starred review in Kirkus, was a Kirkus Best Book, and was named to the Texas Bluebonnet Master List and the NYPL Best Books List.
