‘Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!’ – Oscar, age 7
Pablo and Splash go to visit Professor O’Brain in her lab, only to find that their friend has been left behind in the Ice Age by her misbehaving time machine. The brave penguin buddies set out on a rescue mission – destination 68,000 years ago! When a Neanderthal man accidentally wanders into their time machine, it’s not just the professor who is stuck in the wrong time period. But luckily a scientific breakthrough for Pablo combined with Splash’s endlessly upbeat approach to life can save the day!
The race against time – several times over! – makes this pacey and hilarious graphic novel irresistible. Fans of Bunny vs Monkey or Dog Man will love it.

My favourite character was Splash because he is very funny.

It's cool!
I like the bit when the professor went
missing because it built a lot of suspense.
The funniest bit was when the caveman
traveled to the current world and did not
know what things were.
I would recommend this book to people
that like reading comic books.
Super funny book! 5 star rating
I think it is a good book. I liked Splash the most because she was a penguin and i love penguins
This was hilarious and another exciting adventure for the loveable duo. The characters are the perfect compliment to each other with one being sensible and the other more spontaneous.
Splash always is making Pablo angry in this book they are looking for a penguin doctor
Very funny and playful.

Pablo is quite smart and Splash is quite funny and has good ideas.
Really fun book. Better than the first one with great illustrations and lots of interesting information weaved into the storyline. Really enjoyed it.
