Penguin and Panda - Surprise
by Brenda Maier Author; Fanni Mezes Illustrator
Description
Penguin and Panda should not be friends. The very idea is absurd. Penguin likes to build things and Panda likes to nap. Panda munches bamboo and Penguin gobbles cheese puffs and jam-banana sandwiches. Penguin never powers down and Panda has a hard time powering up. There is no way their friendship would ever work. Except somehow, it does.
In the tradition of Narwal and Jelly, here is an extremely commercial illustrated chapter book/graphic novel series for young readers.
Bright, kid-friendly illustrations are full of humor
An odd couple buddy comedy featuring two buddies who clearly love each other
Author is an elementary school teacher, so she knows the voices, the audience, and she knows what teachers look for in books like these.
Simple dialogue belies the depth of Penguin’s and Panda’s conversations; dig deep and you’ll find hints of moral philosophy—just like in Winnie the Pooh

A can-do panda and a laze-about penguin are inexplicably best buds in this odd-couple escapade series launch.”

Marble Press
Marble Press arose from a collaboration between children’s book industry professionals, parents, and successful entrepreneurs. Marble Press is our parent company, and it has three subsidiaries: Marble Books, which focuses on picture books, Bulooga Books, which publishes books for our youngest readers, and Taltos Books, which publishes middle-grade and young-adult materials. In today’s complex world, quality books, and the words and images they contain, are more valuable than ever. Our mission is to bring you books that will inspire your child, books that will challenge their imagination and ignite their curiosity. We wake up every morning with a mission. We want to publish books that make a difference, books that stand out because of their style and substance. We want books that are honest and diverse, books that offer new perspectives and outside-the-box experiences. Our books will provide a wide range of learning and experiences for our readers. We chose the Taltos as our logo. The Taltos is a mythical creature, one whose appearance is at first weathered and rough, but who comes to age as a creature with five legs, who wields magical powers, and can fly. Not only does the Taltos transform, but also he takes his young rider through a transformation. Like the Taltos and his young traveler, great books can change readers. We invite you to read these books with us.
