About Big Little Blue: Double Dipper
Become BEST-BEST-BESTIES with Big and Little Blue, two lovable and lively little penguins!
When Big and Little Blue – two lovable, lively and KIND-HEARTED little penguins – hear a cry for HELP, they are quick to climb to the rescue. Allie the Albatross needs a HUG!
With three playful stories in each volume, this funny, friendship-filled graphic novel series is a must-have for young readers aged 5 to 8 years, each one featuring two friends, Big Blue and Little Blue, nicknames ‘Bigsies’ and ‘Littles’.
Each story is connected by a wellbeing theme, and is designed to offer children coping strategies for navigating friendships, understanding emotional responses, and the importance of mindfulness and being yourself.
Raymond McGrath has imbued his simple illustrations with bucketloads of character and humour, while at the same time managing to get a subtle message across.

‘This is madness and craziness on a stick but is well worth a read for juniors because it is about friendship and making friends.’ Bob’s Book Blog
