‘Irresistibly funny’ Guardian
Join time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash on an unexpected adventure to the time of the dinosaurs in this brilliantly funny full-colour graphic 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 …

Reviews
Because there is all dinosaurs in it and they think they’re going on holiday but go back in time to dinosaurs. It’s funny and silly and stupid.

It was funny . You SHOULD read it . My favourite part of the story is where it says: What she says: Now my little pets. What they hear : Hng shr hgrfjd shjg. I was sooo funny. Like, the best joke I had ever seen in a book ! I still don’t understand what Splash meant by a ‘holiday’ , not a holiday. It makes NO sense . It is very very very funny , though. Timebender is kind of weird, because he looks weird with something like goo-gal y eyes without the plastic bit off on what that looks like a sphere . Professor o’ brain didn’t look THAT scary as I thought. It was funny on the first page of the story because Splash’s yellow hat in the huddle was so clear to find. When I first saw that page, I could see Splash straight away. I couldn’t see Pablo, though.

It was a really good book

I'm giving it 4 stars because they almost got eaten by a dinosaur, which is bad! I liked it because Splash was trying to go on a perfect holiday like somewhere hot, but then they meet Professor O'Brain. Then they went into her time machine and traveled to the Dinosaur World. I might recommend it to my friends.

Duchess Bunny O’Doughnut 11.08.2025
I liked the dinosaurs kicking the time bender around. Splash is funny because he said he invented a hammer but that’s not true!
