”Irresistibly funny” Guardian
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!
”Gripping and enjoyable … should be recommended whatever the age of the reader. A really fun, enjoyable read. 10/10” Irish Times on Pablo and Splash
