Penguin and Ollie

Ages 3 to 6

Geisel Honor-winning author/illustrator Salina Yoon’s beloved Penguin is always ready for new adventures with new friends!

Penguin is on an undersea adventure, hoping to find treasure. Ollie, a shy octopus, follows behind, carefully camouflaged because he’s afraid of penguins, but also very curious about treasure! Suddenly, they both get a shock, Ollie’s camouflage fades, and he’s face to face with Penguin—a friend. But as they meet other sea creatures on their search, Ollie can’t help but hide! Worried about his new friend, Penguin asks the others to help look for Ollie. Can Ollie overcome his fears?

Salina Yoon’s signature bright illustrations and touching, humorous text bring to life this uplifting story about an unlikely friendship and how a true friend is the best treasure to be found!

Children will delight in finding Ollie on every spread, and the backmatter offers a special seek-and-find activity for repeated readings.
