These books depict the difference in their outlooks with the help of the following stories: 

🐧  negotiating between themselves on which game to play

🦉  swimming in the ocean to see the underwater fishes or seeing them even without swimming underwater

🐧 how to withstand and overcome scary movies

🦉 playing music on stage by overcoming stage fright solely due to encouragement from your friend

🐧 flying a kite that doesn't want to fly

🦉 overcoming the sadness of losing 2 ice creams

🐧 satisfying your friend's wish to fly even though he can't do it on his own

🦉 jumping and splashing through puddles without getting wet

Because their friendship is so deep, they try to observe and care for what the other friend wishes for and try to accommodate it. These stories at various points show how one of the friends compromises for the other one through workarounds, without sacrificing their personal choices.

Kudos to the expressive and brightly colored illustrations in these books because they convey most of the happenings very clearly without the use of much text/words.

* These books have minimal text or emojis enclosed in word balloons.

* Owl and Penguin's friendship is fun, deep, and delightful.

* These are very comprehensible easy reader/starter graphic novel books with cheerful illustrations.

* These stories portray themes of envy, sadness, and problem-solving techniques.

* Excellent books for toddlers, preschoolers, beginning readers, and lower elementary school grades.
