Two feathered friends are Frog and Toad for the emoji generation in this delightful graphic novel for emerging readers, now available in Spanish!

Owl likes peace and quiet.
Penguin likes to SING OUT LOUD.

But best friends don’t need to be the same. Sometimes it’s good to disagree! Owl and Penguin celebrate their differences and solve their problems with creative play. From ice cream mishaps to rainy day chills, there’s nothing these pals can’t get through together.

In three nearly wordless episodes, expressive art takes charge of the storytelling, supplemented by simple Spanish-language text captions and emoticon-style images in speech bubbles. This innovative format supports both sight word recognition for newly independent Spanish and bilingual readers and Spanish vocabulary acquisition for Spanish language learners. With warm humor and a joyful palette, it’s perfect for kids to giggle over on their own.

¡Me gusta leer!® cómics provides emerging Spanish and bilingual readers and Spanish language learners with translations of popular I Like to Read® Comics titles that are perfect for young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. Like their award-winning ¡Me gusta leer!® counterparts, these books are created by celebrated artists, translated by native speakers, and vetted by Spanish literacy experts to support reading comprehension and transform children into lifelong readers.
Vikram Madan grew up in India, where he wanted to be a cartoonist, but ended up an engineer. After many years in the tech industry, he came to his senses and followed his heart into storytelling. He is the author/illustrator of A Hatful of Dragons, which received a starred review in Kirkus Reviews, was a Kirkus Reviews Best Book, and was named to the Texas Bluebonnet Master List and the NYPL Best Books List, as well as the Bobo and Pup-Pup series. He lives in Seattle. Visit him online at vikrammadan.com
