Bookroo's summary

Can their friendship survive their differences? Discover their nearly wordless adventures filled with humor and expressive art, perfect for young readers.

From the publisher

Two feathered friends are Frog and Toad for the emoji generation in this delightful graphic novel series for emerging readers by a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor winner. Owl and Penguin want to make a pizza. But they can’t agree on how to toss the dough. Owl can do it better . . . no, Penguin can do it best! Hmmm, maybe they should just get takeout. Sometimes friends disagree. Though Owl and Penguin are opposites, they like to solve their conflicts with creative play. From making snow creatures to hiking a mountain, there’s nothing these pals can’t get through together. In three 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(R) 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(R) counterparts, these books are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers.
