“The most lovable duo since Frog and Toad.” —
Dav Pilkey, bestselling creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants The funny and adorable New York Times bestselling kids graphic novel series starring happy-go-lucky, waffle-loving Narwhal and his somewhat cynical sidekick, Jelly. In this hilarious 1st book, Narwhal gets lost but finds a new best friend in Jelly. Includes bonus fun facts!
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 both 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.
