‘Hilarious and charming’ – Dav Pilkey, bestselling author of Dogman and Captain Underpants

Narwhal and Jelly – and Otty?! In the fourth book of this blockbuster early graphic novel series, exuberant Narwhal and sceptical Jelly test the waters of adding a new friend to their pod when they meet Otty the super-adventurous otter! A wonderfully silly early graphic novel series featuring three short stories and a super fun ocean fact page – and joke page too! The perfect first book for young readers, just moving on from picture books, discovering the joys of friendship, working together and the power of imagination. Dive in to more o-fish-ally awesome Narwhal & Jelly books: 1. Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea!

2. Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt
3. Peanut Butter and Jelly

PRAISE FOR Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea: ‘Undersea adventures have never been so darn cute …. The incessant charm and unabashed joy should make this an easy sell. Swimmingly delightful and a guaranteed smile-maker’ – Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews ‘An utterly enchanting start to a series that’s bound to be popular among young readers’ – Starred Review, School Library Journal ‘Geez, Narwhal and Jellyfish are adorable. There’s no other word as appropriate for this duo& readers will likely clamour for the next outing’ – Starred Review, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books ‘Bantering dialogue entertains throughout, but the book’s best moment might belong to the third story, when Narwhal lends Jelly his “favourite book in the whole wide water, which is blank…“. ""It’s an imagination book, Jelly!… Narwhal explains. Readers ready for underwater goofiness of the non-SpongeBob variety will be eager for more adventures from this duo’ – Publishers Weekly Ben Clanton is the author/illustrator of the NARWHAL AND JELLY early graphic novel series as well as IT CAME IN THE MAIL, VOTE FOR ME!, and REX WRECKS IT. When Ben isn’t doodling up stories (and often when he is) he likes to cook, explore outdoors, and play basketball. Ben lives in Tacoma, WA with his wife, son and goldendoodle pup.

I would recommend it to others. The best bit was at the end when they talked about what they did.

I like this book because narwhal made a new friend but jelly was jealous so jelly tried to look for a new friend but every one was busy
then narwhal and otter found jelly and made an adventurous plan when jelly was gone then they said jelly do you want to join .

I would recommend this book because it was really good and it showed that when you make a new friend it doesn't mean your not friends with your other friend.

This is now my favourite series ever! It's the best! I love it! It's so funny and it's about waffles and a narwhal and a jellyfish and lots of other things. I've almost finished the series. I only have two of them, but I've read four of them. I got the two I've read today. It was so fun reading them! Hooray! I love the series! WAFFLES!

I like this book, because it shows how narwhal's and otter's adventures and how jelly fish tried to make friends, but the only friend he could make is a rock. but suddenly Narwhal saw jelly fish and said where were you we were looking for you. Final one is Narwhal saying to jelly fish that they were friends.

It was an amazing adventure

Really funny I loved it.

I liked about this book that the shark had a party with the narwhal and otter. My favourite character was the narwhal because when the otter, shark and narwhal had a party, narwhal made the shark surprised by going to few places and having different partys. I recommend you should read this book because snarky trys to make friends but he then finds narwhal and otter and then had a party.

19 Jul 2021

It’s funny when jelly thought that narwhal and otter are going on an adventure without him, and then he found a new friend called rocky.
