'Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!' Oscar, age 7'You'll laugh your flippers off!' John Patrick Green, author of InvestiGATORSJoin time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash on an unexpected adventure to the time of the dinosaurs in this brilliantly funny full-colour graphic novel. Perfect for fans of Bunny vs Monkey or Dog Man. Shortlisted for the British Book Awards Children's Illustrated Book of the Year 2025Antarctic penguins Pablo and Splash are polar opposites and besties for life. Pablo is a home-bird and a careful planner. Splash is easily bored and hungry for adventure. Sick to her flippers of the harsh, freezing weather, Splash persuades Pablo to go on a holiday with her. But far from the luxury beach destination that Splash has in mind, the pair end up in a time-travel machine that takes them back to the age of the dinosaurs! Suddenly their icy homeland doesn't seem so dull .'Joyful, fun and very silly indeed' Louie Stowell, author of Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good`It's such a great book! Can't wait for the next one!' Mark Bradley, author of Bumble and Snug

They make me laugh so much' - Noah, age 8This is the first book in a series which continues with Pablo and Splash: Frozen in Time and Pablo and Splash: Roman Holiday.
