Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea!: the perfect funny comic style book for young reluctant readers!: Book 1 (Narwhal and Jelly)

Product Information

These books are the perfect length because they fit in educational and cute without crossing the line into too long and boring. These books really highlight the importance of friendship since Narwhal and Jelly have the cutest friendship ever. I think these are kind of perfect books for teaching kids about being friends…I mean Narwhal’s power is making other people super?! How cute. He brings out the best in people which is amazing. When we got these books I read the first book ( Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea) to both my kids as a bedtime story and then I discovered my son (8) reading Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt to my daughter who is 5. The last story features a sad Jelly. Narwhal takes it upon himself to cheer Jelly up but how should he proceed and will he be able to make Jelly happy again?

Advert. I’m so excited to share with you these super cute crafts to celebrate the publication of the new Narwhal and Jelly series by Ben Clanton! She liked it so much she then made an entire Super Narwhal book herself and took it into school as a gift for her class, I figure you can’t get much higher praise than that!If I had the little kiddos still I would be purchasing all the Narwhal stories for our kiddo library. We used to call this type of book a Beginning Chapter Book. They're aimed at new readers, those who have just learned to put sentences together and are ready for a bit more but aren't in the full paragraph stage, yet. Humor goes a long way in aiding both reading comprehension and discovery (remember the first time you got a joke in a book that wasn't about jokes?) and helps facilitate reading enjoyment. That's the real reason books like this are important. But I don't care about any of that. I care about the pictures! Hilarious and charming. The most lovable duo since Frog and Toad.”—NYT-bestselling creator of the Dog Man and Captain Underpants series, Dav Pilkey

The simple text and illustrations are paired with beautifully subdued colors that allow the reader to focus on the (surprisingly) expressive characters as they react to each other and their environment. Cute, funny and very heartwarming. I would say it is a great introduction to graphic novels for kids 6 years old and up. Start by cutting a piece from the bottom of your paper plate to make the main part of Jelly’s body and then paint this plate blue. Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt features the same adorable and irreverent artwork as its predecessor - and yes, there are waffles. Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for review through Library Thing's Earlier Reviewers program.)

Narwhal’s obsession with a new favorite food leads the duo into hijinks and hilarity in the third book of this all-star early graphic novel series! When he meets a jellyfish, they both assume they are imagining one another as neither of them has come across such bizarre-looking animaL before. Nevertheless, they decide to become friends and embark on some awesome adventures together. I received an advance reading copy of this book from Penguin Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review. Start by cutting a ‘V’ shape from the bottom of your paper plate to make the main part of Narwhal’s body, keep the two small parts of paper plate that you’ve just cut off as you will need these for the next step. Another great Narwhal book about Narwhal and Jelly becoming super heroes. Kids love♥ the illustrations and the story is super easy to read.

Once the paint is dry cut your blue paper into strips and glue these onto the bottom of the paper plate to make Jelly’s tentacles.A sequel to Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea this picture book follows the 2 best friends as they work to become superheroes. While Narwhal has his outfit and super identity figured out he doesn’t know what his power is unfortunately. Featuring some fun facts about creatures of the sea this book is a ton of fun and super cute! The witty comic-strip illustrations are simple, yet full of character, and are rendered using a predominantly blue and yellow palette, with occasional splashes of colour. These two are not unlike Frog and Toad or Heart and Brain or Snail and Worm: Three Stories About Two Friends. There's the impulsive, fun one and the logical, more down-to-earth (or down to ocean bottom, I suppose) one. One worries more and the other is spontaneous. It's a common friendship model, by now, but one that doesn't seem to get old.
