Book Nook - Penguin and Panda: In the Dark

 Penguin and Panda are back with four new adventures in the brand-new volume of the series In the Dark! Perfect for the early graphic novel reader who devoured Narwhal and Jelly, Captain Underpants or Elephant and Piggie, the Penguin & Panda series was named a ALA 2024 BEST GRAPHIC NOVELS for CHILDREN. 

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.

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.
