Synopses & Reviews
Everyone has fallen in love with Penelope--an energetic and inquisitive koala created by the author and illustrator of the popular Gaspard and Lisa books!
Children can pull the tabs on every spread and help Penelope get ready for bed. On one spread, Penelope is making a chocolate pancake. Kids can pull the tab and help her flip the pancake. Uh-oh, now it's on her head!
On another spread, kids can pull the tab and help Penelope wash herself in the bathtub. All clean, Penelope!
And Penelope's popularity is worldwide: Translation rights to the series have been sold in 11 languages to major and renowned publishers. And more than 250,000 copies of the books were in print worldwide within the first year.
