Time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash fight gladiators in Ancient Rome in this hilarious full-colour graphic novel
“We are huge fans of Sheena Dempsey and are thrilled to see Pablo and Splash back for another epic adventure! Newly independent readers and fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey will love this.”
~Emily
When their penguin pal Benji won't believe they've travelled through time, Pablo and Splash have a point to prove. The two travel to Ancient Rome, hoping to bring back a centurion helmet as proof of their adventures. But when Pablo and Splash meet an emperor with a passion for collecting exotic birds, only some quick thinking - and emergency time travel - can save them from the fate that awaits them in the Colosseum.
Sheena Dempsey is an Irish author/illustrator who first had the idea for Pablo and Splash during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, when she created a webcomic featuring herself and her husband as penguins. The first Pablo and Splash book was published in 2024 and was shortlisted for the British Book Awards Illustrated Children's Book of the Year 2025.
