From bestselling author Katie Cotugno and illustrator Amy Jindra Hodgson comes a charming new chapter-book series about a plucky seven-year-old who can see things other people miss, perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean
For two hours every day, seven-year-old Penelope Positano wears an eye patch. Her eye muscles don’t quite match, and wearing the patch on her strong eye helps her less-strong eye catch up. And whenever she wears her eye patch, Penelope notices things that other people overlook.
The Positanos are getting a dog, and it’s Penelope’s job to find the perfect pup for her family. Her mom thinks they should pick the most obedient dog, and her dad wants the dog that likes his music the best, but Penelope’s not sure. Her best friend Gus said she would know which dog was meant to be hers, but the more Penelope looks, the more she worries that her dog isn’t out there.
It’s only with the encouragement of her grandma—and the help of her trusty eye patch—that Penelope realizes the perfect dog might be closer than she thinks.

Praise for Penelope Positano Sees It All
Cotugno has created a thoughtful, well-rounded protagonist whose willingness to look carefully rather than choose impulsively feels refreshing...Hodgson's colorful illustrations bring tremendous personality to every character. The start of a charming new series, starring a perceptive, thoughtful, and exuberant youngster.
Kirkus Review
The illustrations provide strong support to growing readers with spot art throughout as appropriate with the text. Penelope's colorful patterned eye patch is integrated into the story in a way that highlights her abilities rather than her difficulties...An energetic girl takes the starring role in a story that young readers will enjoy.
School Library Journal
Bright, colorful illustrations accompany the story, making it visually engaging for young readers and adding extra charm to Penelope's adventures. Delightful, relatable, and full of heart, this is made for young readers learning to trust themselves.
