Book Synopsis

Reggie the kid penguin returns with his trademark spunk and energy for more daily adventures...but they rarely go according to plan in this hilarious early reader graphic novel series.

Around the neighborhood, Reggie is up to his regular shenanigans. But it seems like everything he does causes a mess! When he's building a toy robot, parts fly everywhere. When he's blowing bubbles, the suds make his flippers all slimy. And let's not even get started on what happens at the local pet talent show!

Reggie has a knack for causing a scene, but can this penguin use his creative energy to problem solve and learn what it means to take charge?

Reggie: Penguin in Charge is a collection of six giggle-worthy comics that tell playful and relatable stories for fun-loving kids.
