Reggie: Kid Penguin (a Graphic Novel) - by Jen de Oliveira (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Reginald 'Reggie' Guinn is a kid penguin who is equal parts playful, curious, and cantankerous, and gets into everyday adventures at school, home, and his neighborhood"--

Book Synopsis

Fans of Babymouse and Owly will love this early graphic novel series about the everyday adventures and high jinks of Reginald "Reggie" Guinn, a little kid penguin with a big personality!

Reggie is just like any other kid: always looking for fun and adventure! But Reggie's curious, playful side sometimes gets him into trouble. Like when he tries to give himself a haircut before picture day...and ends up gluing his feathers back on his head! Or when he sneaks a mouthful of cookie dough from the kitchen...then feels the sun baking cookies in his tummy! Or when his babysitter puts him on a kid leash while they walk to the park...and he rebels by acting like a dog!

Reggie: Kid Penguin is a collection of six silly stories that explore kid-friendly themes, all through the eyes of a lovable, spunky penguin.
