'Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!' – Oscar, age 7
Pablo and Splash go to visit Professor O'Brain in her lab, only to find that their friend has been left behind in the Ice Age by her misbehaving time machine. The brave penguin buddies set out on a rescue mission – destination 68,000 years ago! When a Neanderthal man accidentally wanders into their time machine, it's not just the professor who is stuck in the wrong time period. But luckily a scientific breakthrough for Pablo combined with Splash's endlessly upbeat approach to life can save the day!
The race against time – several times over! – makes this pacey and hilarious graphic novel irresistible. Fans of Bunny vs Monkey or Dog Man will love it.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dempsey spins an energetic time-travel yarn in this graphic novel debut. Penguin chums Pablo and Splash think they're going on a simple vacation to visit their human friend Professor O'Brain, initially portrayed with pink hair and pale skin. But when they arrive—via a topsy-turvy tunnel from their polar dwelling to the professor's lab—and find that O'Brain has vanished, cautious Pablo's desire for a relaxing retreat dissolves (adventurous Splash, meanwhile, is excited for the excursion). They soon learn that Professor O'Brain's sentient—and snarky—invention, TimeBender, has abandoned its creator 68,000 years in the past, in "Ice Age. Northern Europe." And if the penguin duo wants to rescue her, they must leave her cozy, snack-filled abode for unfamiliar, bison-populated terrain. Time-travel shenanigans add an unexpected bent to Splash's devil-may-care nature and Pablo's more sensible demeanor, which evoke Odd Couple dynamics familiar to the genre. Bouncy and brightly colored illustrations are accompanied by scientific facts surrounding the climate and animal extinction throughout. It's a simultaneously chuckle-inducing and touching series launch that teaches about the value of home and friendship and encourages readers to be curious and seek adventure. Ages 7–10.
