Blue, Barry, and Pancakes are friends. Sometimes they love to play together, but one day, Blue and Barry just want a quiet day to themselves. Unfortunately for them, Pancakes has other ideas - ginormous, inflatable, intergalactic-adventure-sized ideas! Soon enough, Blue's and Barry's dream of a quiet day has become a squeaky nightmare. They, along with Pancakes, find themselves stranded on a planet that's populated by living balloons called Balloonians. And if the gang wants to get home, they'll have to work together to overcome the biggest, meanest, and scariest Balloonian of them all - Balloon Kong!

Story and art by Dan Abdo and Jason Patterson.

A children's graphic novel series of friendship stories for emerging readers, featuring three friends (a bunny, a worm, and a frog) who get into conflicts and adventures driven by their very different personalities.

Blue, Barry, and Pancakes are best friends, but sometimes friends make mistakes. One day, when the gang goes to the beach, Barry and Pancakes lose Blue's beloved beach ball. They come up with a plan to get it back, but things go way off course.

Now, these pals will have to go inside a giant whale's stomach, crash a pool party on an alien spaceship, and survive Duckzilla's volcanic birthday bash if they ever hope to see Blue's beach ball again!
