Pablo and Splash: the hilarious kids' graphic novel
Sheena Dempsey, Sheena Dempsey
'Irresistibly funny' Guardian Join 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 2025 Antarctic 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 'Gripping and enjoyable ... should be recommended whatever the age of the reader. A really fun, enjoyable read. 10/10' Irish Times 'Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!' – Oscar, age 7 'I wish I could time travel with Pablo and Splash. They make me laugh so much' – Noah, age 8 This is the first book in a series which continues with Pablo and Splash: Frozen in Time and Pablo and Splash: Roman Holiday.

My favourite person was Pablo because he wasn't agreeing to splash and it was funny. I like when dinosaurus played football with a time blender.

The book was good because it was easy to read and it was funny. My favourite character is the horn Trex because it is funny how it shakes his head. I would recommend it to someone who likes dinosaurs and time travel.

My thought about this book is amazing because I just got this book today and it is already finished and it is fiction.My favourite penguin was Pablo because he was smart.It interested me because the way the book is it's like a comic book. I would recommend it to the whole world it is so good I would do that.
