For fans of Penguin and Pinecone, this adorable new duo will warm your heart and tickle your funny bone.

Meet Turtle! He agrees that Croc is the strongest and fastest.

But what happens when Elephant lifts that heavy rock with ease? And when Cheetah speeds on by?

Introducing an utterly charming new duo, this humorous and heartwarming adventure will delight readers of all ages.
