Penelope Meets the Puddlemans is an Australian made picture book about Penelope, an Australian Brushtail Possum, and her quest to get rid of the noisy new neighbours that have moved into her house. Each morning brings an unwitting new disturbance that ruins Penelope's sleep, each night she tries a new set of shoes to drive out the intruders. Covering universal themes of grief, change, and compromise, Penelope Meets the Puddlemans aims to provide a delightful insight for children struggling with new emotions and unfamiliar situations. The story would be a wonderful addition to any bedtime routine due to the focus on days of the week, colors, and repeating cycles.
