Narwhal is a happy-go-lucky narwhal. Jelly is a no-nonsense jellyfish. The two might not have a lot in common, but they do they love waffles, parties and adventures. Join Narwhal and Jelly as they discover the whole wide ocean together.
A wonderfully silly early graphic novel series featuring three stories. In the first, Jelly learns that Narwhal is a really good friend. Then Narwhal and Jelly form their own pod of awesomeness with their ocean friends. And finally, Narwhal and Jelly read the best book ever -- even though it doesn't have any words...or pictures!
Ben Clanton showcases the joys of friendship, the benefits of working together and the power of imagination in the delightful Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea.

I love this book! I spotted it in the Graphic Novel section of my local bookstore. What could be better than a Narwhal who is friends with a Jellyfish and loves waffles? I also love the author is a self-proclaimed Merman.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original in a great, unique series!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019

This is the first in a series of currently four. It is so different from other books. A combination of graphic novel layout but with simple, adorable doodle illustrations, quirky and endearing humor, fun nature facts, and an underlying addressing of relevant feelings for young people, it does something few books do: honestly create a product that my four year old loves, but that this forty-two year old truly enjoys sharing with him, not just for the usual fun of the shared experience, but because I truly enjoy the book myself. As an added bonus, I love that this is helping me introduce my son to a different format of visual storytelling - the multi-frame comic format - that is otherwise usually not available as a platform for the very young.

Totally enjoyable book. The writing is very creative. The illustrations are simple but so charming and engaging. You'll feel like you are swimming in the ocean with all the characters. This is imagination run wild. Kids will love it and will bond with the characters quite quickly. In addition to the story, you will learn some real Narwhal facts and there is also a Narwhal song! The book is 64 pages, but very easy reading with nice large type. I will definitely check out more adventures from this author.

We got this book (together with few more) for my 2yo and 6yo to share. They both love it. Also, the story is so nice and has nice heartwarming little messages. We got it for Christmas and I don’t know how many times we’ve already read it.

My daughter loves this book! She is a homeschooled diet grader and she read through this book in about a week (with k my reading a little bit at a time). The only pages she struggled reading were the pages with the technical information about narwhals. She giggle while reading and loved the illustrations. This series is fun and age appropriate. So many early chapter type books have unnecessary “drama” and/or hateful type of language.

She is 7 years old I’m frist grade reading at about a second grade level. We have since read the second book I’m the series in about 3 days and just got the 3rd book but haven’t started it.

My kid has the entire collection. Somehow she lost this first book, so after looking for months I picked up another copy for her. This one is hardcover, though, so it fits better with the rest of the collection and will last longer. She reads these over and over. I imagine our first copy was accidentally taken back with library books at some point. Hopefully someone else has been enjoying it. 😅
