Bookroo's summary

Pickle, a talk show host, and Penguin, seeking adventure beyond Antarctica, embark on a journey to New York City. But chaos ensues when they are separated in the bustling metropolis. As they navigate the city's vibrant streets, they must rely on the kindness of strangers, including the iconic Lady Liberty, to find their way back to each other. Will their friendship withstand the challenges of the big city, or will they be lost forever in the urban jungle? Join their whimsical quest for reunion and discover the magic of unexpected friendships.

From the publisher

Pickle has seen and done it all. As the host of his own late-night talk show he has fame and fortune, but he’s lonely. Then along comes Penguin. Penguin is tired of Antarctica; he needs a change, too. The two fast friends are soon headed to New York City. But when they are accidentally separated, a madcap adventure begins. Will they be able to find each other? With a little help from Lady Liberty, their tale ends with a happy reunion and a new start together. The equally winning coupling of Lawrence David’s fresh text and Scott Nash’s winsome illustrations offers something for everyone.
