“With animals surfing and sledding and playing sweet tunes, this wonderfully whimsical book will inspire kids to create their own rhymes and dream up their own animal adventures too!” —Adam Wallace #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of the How to Catch Series
“A fun book written in playful rhyme about two girls having an adventurous day with their friends. Charlotte & Penelope and Their Magical Menagerie is an imaginative story that inspires readers to be silly in their play.”—Shannon Anderson, Award-Winning Author of I Love Strawberries!
“Brilliantly and beautifully illustrated.”—School Library Journal
In Charlotte & Penelope two sisters spend time with a variety of animals throughout the day, each personified to do something humorous (an octopus roller-skating, a mouse playing hopscotch, a bear getting his hair styled, etc.). These girls try to find the most entertaining activity and learn that the most enjoyable moments are found in the time spent with each other.
“My overarching goal for readers and listeners is to have fun reading a book and create a bonding experience that gives them time together — giggling, laughing, just creating that magical moment.” —Teresa Argenbright
