About this listen

'Irresistibly funny' Guardian

Join time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash on an unexpected adventure to the time of the dinosaurs in this brilliantly funny 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

Critic reviews

Irresistibly funny (Imogen Russell-Williams)
Pablo and Splash is utterly charming! "Krilly" good indeed (Steven Lenton, author of 'Genie and Teeny')
'Clever storytelling with dollops of humour in this new comic book... The illustrations are full of humour and vibrant, eye-catching colour' (Sarah Webb)
Brilliant. Zany energy and high-octane visual storytelling. Irresistible to read. (Jake Hope)
