For the early graphic novel reader who devoured Narwhal and Jelly, Captain Underpants or Elephant and Piggie 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, but his inability to stop putting things off comes back to bite him when he ruins a special Fun Friday. 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. If you've enjoyed Narwhal and Jelly, give this funny duo a try. Highly recommended by Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, Betsy Bird at AFuse8Production and YA Books Central
