Full of heart and humor, this early reader graphic novel series stars two best friends in a fantastical medieval setting, perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Peter & Ernesto
Wallace is a knightly horse who loves rules. Poppy is a free-spirit dragon who loves adventure.
These two unlikely pals disagree on most everything—but still manage to have a lot of fun-filled shenanigans together in the Land of La-Dee-Dah.
Told in three short and silly stories with subtle social-emotional themes, this young graphic novel follows the everyday adventures of two best buds as they step out of their comfort zones, discover hidden powers, and eat a LOT of banana pudding. With a high-interest fantasy setting, accessible reading level, and kid-perfect humor, this series is designed for emerging and reluctant readers alike.
“A low panel count per page, makes navigation a breeze. Fourth-wall-breaking humor…add a touch of savvy to the odd-couple formula…Readers will come away from this story ready to tally their own superpowers, favorite foods, and fashion changes. Bright artwork brings life to a jovial friendship of gentle contrasts and mutual appreciation.”
“Wallace the horse and his friend Poppy the dragon are sure to please readers of buddy stories in this early reader comic debut…Easy-to-follow panels featuring brisk action, silly social-emotional situations, and cute camaraderie in a fantasy setting make for a fun read.”
* Booklist *“This sidesplitting transitional graphic novel will appeal to readers who enjoy fantasy, talking animals, and laughing out loud…The everyday adventures, such as the joys of banana pudding and the excitement of a haircut, will allow younger readers to make connections to the story. Character development that will keep readers on the edge of their seats for the second installment in the series.”
